I thought maybe we were in a low tick zone when we first got to Northern Minnesota this year, but there was some cold weather that preceded us, and when it warmed back up, the hoard crawled out.
Another freeze tonight and hopefully it will keep them at bay. So many bad things lurking inside those pests now it makes me paranoid whenever I am bitten by one.
Oh, and don't get me started on the gnats, mosquitoes and other flying pests that come out when the weather warms. It's part of the reason why I moved my October trips to the end of the month. Maybe I should move to November...SHEESH! I guess I'll need to bring a deer rifle next year.
