    Ticks are out caddisguy 1, ticks 0

    Did a quick trailcam check / service, shed hunt, bear scout, sight-in, campfire, cook-out one-nighter.

    Found the ticks. I think I'm winning. I haven't checked my clothes or showered though

    Every year I consider a trip to BC in the spring just for a wander around until I see HBCs annual "the ticks are out" report. Not to mention the bears are awake and hungry.
    Our red and sika stags are rutting which in it's self is a reason to stay home.
    I'll be home before winter. It's too cold to sleep out.

    Has there been any revelations of a better repellant? I've been using some spray for horses from the local tack/feed store. I can't recall the permethrin percentage but I do recall it being of the highest I could find. 5 or 0.5%.

    I went through 2 cans last season throughout numerous trips, did not see a single tick on myself or dog, but there may not have been much of a population in the areas either.
