[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1628209, member: 95733"] Have not had a tic on me while actually turkey hunting in well over 10-12 years. Was done hunting and driving and scouting by calling yesterday and walked through some waist high brush to reach a higher vantage point to call and when i went back to the truck and while driving noticed a tic crawling on my right forearm and disposed of him. Pulled over at a reasonably secluded spot and found no less than 3 tics crawling on my shirt, two on my pants, found two more on my waist line and one on my right side. Once at home wife found two more attached to my waist where I couldn't see. In less than 10 minuets during a short 50-65 yard walk I got more tics on me than in my entire 30+ years of hunting both turkeys and deer. This was the first time in memory I didn't spray my turkey hunting clothes with Permethrin so it's likely the reason I got infested. My boys and I are going out turkey hunting again this weekend so without doubt I will be treating our boot tops and clothes with a prescribed dose of Perethrin. Just a friendly reminder to check for tics especially your kids and other younger hunters. [/QUOTE]
