Ticks seem pretty bad here in the Upstate of South Carolina. We bought some repellent but need to get some to treat our clothes. I may be able to do that today.
Thanks,
Clark
I have to treat my clothes here soon. I've only seen a tick or two this year and I think they both were while doing landscaping work.

Ive pulled 3. Had another 5 crawling around on me.
They are bad for sure this year. I went after work the other day to check some birds in one spot, wasn't out of the truck 20 minutes and came back covered in them things.

I've pulled 8 off me in my last 2 hunts. They are bad in central MS.
Just finished treating my camo boots and vest

Sat twice scouting, and have pulled 11.
My new order is coming in mail any day.
They started in MN also My new order is coming in mail any day.
Clothes have been sprayed, vest is this afternoon!
gonna spray mine this weekend if can get away from some this rain so they can dry
Spray ALL my clothes and gear with permethrin before the season starts and again about 1/2 way through. No problems!
I've already sprayed my "Scouting Stuff" for pre-season scouting.
I'll spray again just before season opener.
Maybe once again, before end of season.
I spray EVEYTHING. I hate those critters and they seem to love me.
If the wind will ever die down, I'll spray and let line dry 2-3 sets of outer hunting clothes (sock tops, bibs, shirts, leafy camo, hat, ground lounger, etc.) with permethrin, mixed 1.5 ounces/1 gallon of water. I've done this for 6-7 seasons and have found only 2-3 tiny ticks total in that time. Our first season, which comes in on April 3rd in Southern Illinois, is only 5 days in length, so that should get me by.

you aint kidding on the wind! I went to spray mine and it was so high I had to take them into the open garage spray them and then hang them up...good thing was that it dried quick
Just when we thought Lyme Disease was the worst. Have you fellas seen this recent rare tick-borne Powassan virus or heard of it? I am seeing lots of posts about this recently and thought it was worth sharing.

2 years ago while deer hunting in the fall I thought i got a case of chiggers on my leg. Turned out to be Lone Star Tick larvae. One month later my wife made a beef roast. That night went into anaphylactic shock. Now I cannot eat any red meat. Since then 4 other people i know had the same thing happen. Google red meat allergy for more info. Some times only one bite can cause this.

Yeah, just read about that today as being in PA.
Really starting to suck..................
That's some nasty stuff.

I freaking hate ticks. I pulled 77 off me one time in the piney strip in NE. I'm thankful we don't see them here where I chase turkeys in Colorado
I just sprayed down my gear today good heading back out in the morning.
This season I used Sawyer permethrin spray on my clothing. I didn't get a single tick or chigger on me. I highly recommend it.
