Hey guys i was recently hunting in reg 3 near the Fraser. I was hunting an old burn I hiked up for an afternoon hunt and when i got back to my camp(i sleep in my car) i was sitting* with the heat on for a few minutes and i noticed a tiny tick crawling on my arm. I've never had a tick before,and it was so small i wondered if it was some sort of mite. Then i looked at my pants. I had at least a dozen+ all over my pants. About 1mm long and redish brown. Where i was camping there was a stream* that was basically frozen over and about 6 inches of light fluffy snow it was -4 degrees. I went up the next day it snowed another few inches and looked at some of the tops of grass and found a few with literally clups of 10-20 these tiny ticks, some covered in frost. Is this normal for Nov? I've hunted a ton every nov for 6 years and have never even seen a tick on me. This was a new zone. Are some zones just worse or are some years just worse. If i go back next nov am i likely to have the same experience? Oh and on day 2 i shot a decent 4pt. Ill try and post a picture down below. When i get home.
Cheer guys and good luck!
