Yeah this seems to be a record breaking year for ticks. I can't remember it being this bad in southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois

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.

My experiences in Vermont this year, both in turkey season in the spring and now grouse season, even with no appreciable frosts yet, the ticks (usually in huge numbers there) are non-existant.

Strange, so far no ticks in the Catskills or Tughill NY. Saw just a few in lower Michigan.

Hunted UP of Michigan October 15-22 and it was hot and dry, the sad news is my French Brittany now has Lyme Disease. She put on a hunting clinic and found the most birds very day but now is really sick and on antibiotic. Hoping she will recover and be ready for January Quail Trip to New Mexico.

The ticks were bad up there. I had a Seresto collar on my 3 setters and would mist them with permethrin on each hunt. Thinking on getting the Lyme vaccine shots for them now. Deer ticks are bad here in Ohio and West Virginia also.
Hope your dog responds quickly .
