Anyone know if a thermacell has any effect on them? Or is it more for the winged bloodsuckers. I know it works well on skeeters and no seeums

I second that question...  anyone know?

I don't think so..but I have mine and I use it from time to time..Nothing beats underarmour and permerithrin spray..It kicks butt.  Lasts for 2 weeks. 

Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

You can buy permethrin from your local feed store and then mix the stuff up yourself.

I hunted a mile by mile patch of State land out by Devils Gap, walked in 1 mile, walked over 1 mile then out one mile. Didn't get any gobbles so I left. Didn't do a tick check because I wasn't there long and I was parked out in the open. I jumped in my truck and saw a tick on my leg. So I jumped out and found 27 ticks on me. :yike:

Yea....that was me.
It was attached to my eardrum.
The worst part wasn't the tick..... or the hypodermic in the ear...but when the anesthesia was wearing off...that was some serious pain!


I despise them!  :mgun2:

So once that bug spray drys it cant hurt you anymore? It seems like if you sweat through your clothes the spray would end up getting on your skin or even if you wipe your face or something. Any problems with this situation?

Yep, all you guy and gal turkey chasers ....... just hunt Easterns in tick-free Western WA this year and you will have nothing to worry about!!  :P  You also probably won't have to worry about having your bird(s) checked by the WDFW.  Just look at the historical harvest numbers for the wetside!    :rolleyes:

There be ticks here on the wet side also....  I have seen them in the Tenino and Rochester areas. 

If you take your dogs out in the field, you should put that stuff down their backs so if the ticks bite them the ticks die.  I think it is the same stuff that you can put on them for fleas.

I still have a lump on the back of my head at the hairline where my mom was trying to get a tick out by using a match to heat it so it would back away.  She burned up the tick but it left its head in there....

Buddy and I did some hiking around in the foothills around Dayton this weekend.  We each easily pulled 80 ticks off on one little hike this morning!  We thought we had them all off.  On the drive home he found 2 more on him and I had one trying to drop on me from the roof of my truck....Damn near ran off the road trying to get that little *censored* out of the truck.  My skin is still crawling.

its funny to consider the torrential weather, waves, currents, etc I'd take a boat in for duck hunting... and consider the big game that we see in the wilderness while chasing turkeys. Sleeping among bears, wolves, pissed off Meese, etc... And yet these tiny little critters bug us more than anything. this thread made me throw up a little in my mouth  :chuckle:

Ticks are icky.
