I went mushroom hunting the other day and was bombarded with those nasty little ticks. Here in Illinois we have Deer Ticks and or Seed Ticks and the Wood Ticks. Deer ticks for me are the very worst. I was wondering what other people do or how do they keep those nasty ticks off. They simply take the fun out of hunting anything. I do a lot of squirrel hunting with my dog in the fall but i don't even consider going hunting until after the first hard frost. I knew a man that got Lime disease, it's not something anybody want's to get. thanks
