How they in your area??


I was at a UKC trial and pulled at least 30 off me.

not bad yet still have snow on the ground up here in maine.

Snow tomorrow lol , should help cut down the tick population. 77 degrees in n/e Ohio Sunday, snow tomorrow...this is crazy.

They starting to get bad, a walk in the woods behind my house and you sure to have some on you when you go back inside.

I got two off of me back in January they were very little. I wasn't sure how long they were on me. I found them on a Monday by Friday I started filling bad. Went to the Doctor the following Monday and she told me I had spotted mountain tick fever. Be careful and use insect repellent they say it will help but I'm not sure because I still find them on me when I go run my dogs.
Thanks,

Already had tons of em. Big ones too. Looks like it's going to be a horrible year.

Ran for about 2.5 hours yesterday and never got off in the weeds but still pulled 6 off. I hate these things and once I found the first one my skin has not quit itching. Sprayed down the dogs when we got home.

I guess we've been lucky. We have ran the dogs for several weekends and I haven't found any on me. Hopefully, that trend continues! lol

I got 37 bite marks Casey, and that's not counting what I brushed off me while in the field!

We got those little turkey mites down here a few years ago.Them little suckers will make you not want to run dogs during warm months.

Have just been out the other night sitting in the woods listening to a PKC coon hound cast and picked one of those little suckers off of my back. Got a big itching welt now. I never even thought they would be out yet. I hope this cold snap last night and tonight makes an impact on them as it's supposed to get down to 27 tonight.

Better start gettin the garlic in your blood. Already started it here. Pickled ones don't smell.

turkey mites are the same as ticks there just young ones not mature yet

Beginning to look like a bad year for them in southern Michigan already. Been pulling them off dogs , and ourselves, now for a few weeks. We started seeing them even before all the snow was gone. Pulled 8 off one of my dogs just last week. Some areas seem to have more than others. There goes the theory of our long extremely cold winter , killing them off. Seems not too many years ago we never would even see them here in our area . But we sure have them now.

Ive been building fence and ticks have been terrable here in ky
I got bit n went to the doctor
Iv got a swelled place around the bite thats the size of a soft ball
Seems like those things get nasty every year
Used to a bite had no after affect
And now u get welps that itch for months
Especially those lil speck ticks
Hate those things
