Ticks are terrible.

they are going to be bad in Mississippi this year looks like also. I've gotten several on me already while turkey hunting and my hounds in pens have gotten a few, already treating pens and surrounding area

I use the Python cattle tags ( purple). Fold them in two length ways and squeeze the plastic rivet that is supplied with them through the other side and slide your collar through them. I have found a few ticks on my dogs, but they were shriveled up and DEAD!

There are some guys on another board said they sprayed their clothes only with a product called duranon or permanon said it worked great kept the ticks off.

I am finding fewer ticks this year, or maybe they are just late coming. Last year, deer ticks were really bad by mid-March, even right around the kennels. This year I am finding almost none near the kennels and only a few when out hunting. So, I am sure the hard winter had an impact on them in SE Ohio. I'm not sure what is worse....a bad winter or lots of deer ticks.
