Ticks are out, ask me how I know

[boogaloo]

I got bit by a Black Legged Tick on Fri. Mar. 21st but did not notice til Sun. when My ribs felt like they were bruised. By then the small Tick was buried so deep in my side that the "tick key" was useless. The head came off and I tried to cut it out with a scalpel. The Dr. finally cut it out on Mon. afternoon. I am now on precautionary treatment for Lyme disease. Be careful out there my friends and check yourself often and thoroughly after being outdoors.......................Daniel

That's good. Better to be proactive then reactive and try to "cure" you later.

I thing a couple cans of raid used in and around the turkey blind would also be a good plan.

By the way, guess which bug turkeys love to eat..ticks.

If they eat them all they move on. No ticks equals no turkeys feeding.

Find the most tick infested woods and you'll find turkey, it's a "smelly" truth.

Plenty of other bugs in the woods, and mice and worms and frogs and anything else they can catch and shove down their necks. lol

Hope your in good enough health to get out and force feed one some bird shot.
