grouse28 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Have not seen many down here in SE PA. Not sure what to make of it. OK with me. Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Hunter Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 There were quite a few ticks earlier (3-4 weeks ago), but now, not so many. Dry conditions may be the cause. We really need rain around here. Fire warnings in Minnesota for the last couple weeks and looks to continue into next week. The low humidity is not good for the covid-19, either. Link to post Share on other sites

Brad Eden Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Forgot to spray my turkey coveralls with permethrin. Was crawling around from fly down till almost noon fooling with turkeys this morning. Not a single tick found on self. Im sure they are around, but so far not nearly in the numbers expected. (Mid/Central/Coastal Maine.) Link to post Share on other sites
WPG Gizmo Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 2 days of sitting in the woods and I have not sprayed my clothes yet not a single tick to be found Link to post Share on other sites
WMassGriff Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Yes, light so far but just wait!! Just like the blackflies. Link to post Share on other sites
SelbyLowndes Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I sprayed my hunting clothes with permanone March 21st when our season opened. The only tick I've seen all turkey season was one on my bare arm when I wasn't wearing my "turkey uniform"...SelbyLowndes Link to post Share on other sites

max2 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 For those that like tick's you should really consider a trip to NY I just pulled another one out of my leg. Just barely hooked but enough that I had to pull . In all seriousness if you do come to NY be diligent . Link to post Share on other sites
Remo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Treated the dogs last week as the ticks are coming out with the warm weather. Ticks. $*#$@!. And in 7 weeks the days will be getting shorter. Then it snows again. )^@#(&*^. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike da Carpenter Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Believe it or not, all of us humans in this house have found them on us in the past month, but there hasn’t been one found on the dog. Link to post Share on other sites
charlo slim Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Where are they? Yeah that is the question sometimes! Particularly for those tiny little bloodsucking bastardlings that tread so lightly they are hard to detect, but oh so easy to imagine. Link to post Share on other sites
Speaks Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 In the area just north of twin cities metro I have not seen one on me or the dogs yet this year which is strange. I was out less in early April due to an injury but this stay home thing combined with no work travel balanced it out the 2nd half of the month. Most recent years ive seen far less than i did a decade ago both here and at my cabin in NW WI. It could just me switching the dogs to Soresto but I find a bunch less on me too.
