1 to 1 so far.  Last year, it was 3 to 0 in favor of the shot turkeys.  IF you count turkey mites, they won last year by about 100, mostly on my butt!

1 to 1 for me. Strange thing is that the tick came out of the yard at home!

2 Toms, and one tick that must have come down from my hat onto the back of my hair. I've got enough tick spray to kill anything that climbs on my clothes, but forgot to spray my hat.

No ticks up here. They must still be hibernating, because the weather has been nasty. Green Bay got 10'' of snow, yesterday. Enough already...Mike

My wife was fussing at me this morning, she had one embedded in her hip.  And she hasn't hunted w/ me one time this year.  I guess the tick transferred to her somehow from my last hunt!  For me, had two of the little blood suckers myself.

So far, 1 turkey and 5 ticks.  Got both on opening day.  I have used Deep Woods OFF 95% DEET since and have had no new ticks or turkeys.     :happy0064:
