Hey guys, be careful out there hunting. I have had a tick attached on me the last two times I came home for hunting. I now use Repel 100 and it burns but I guess it's better than Lyme disease. The seem to be real bad out here this year.
-
They are horrible where I ground hog and red tag hunt. Nothing bit in yet thank god.
-
I agree, First one this season was St. Patrick's day weekend and I picked the 8th one off me tuesday after a quick trip in the woods to check my trail cam pics.
-
A couple of years ago I started using permethrin and I had no issues since.

You are right on, permethrin is the best.
The problem I have is I never seam to we're the same out fit wile out walking around. But treated clothing will keep them off ya when using it.
-
Are you guys talking about the Johnson and Johnson "Lyclear" stuff from Walmart?
-
Check out 'Sawyer Permethrin Pump Spray - 12 oz.'.
-
Tried Sawyer Permethrin this year in srping gobbler. Best thing I've found yet
-
Permethin works the best. i have also used permethin used for lice and it works the same, just don't spray it on your clothes when you are wearing them.

Ya, good you mentioned that. Bad stuff when on wet skin. You are to spray and let dry before wearing clothes.
-
Where does one get this Permethin???
-
A lot of places have it. Wall mart has it.
-
I got this from cabelas or bass pro. Look in the camping section.

Thanks fellas on the advice. I bought some today at Walmart after you recommended it. Now, I have to find out which set of clothes I'm going to put it on. :-\

You can get the Sawyer tick spray in Dicks sporting goods Camping Department... I was out there shrooming today... Not a tick on me.. I also use 98% DEET too. Every now and then you hear those skeeters buzz your ears..
-
+1 for Sawyers.

Usually I am a tick magnet....but never had one latch on yet. For some reason I have not had many ticks this year..or my dogs. But what I am getting annoyed with is Poison Ivy...I never had it in my life until a couple months ago. Just recently got over a bad case on the back of my legs/buttocks....now I got it on my left hand and both thighs....I don't even remember seeing any!
Thanks for the heads up on the tick repellent!
