I get sawyer permethrine from amazon.
I hunted 5 days there in 2013. Spent every day from sun up to dark on the mountain, even took naps on the ground and never found a tick one on me . It was in mid may when I went so maybe it was a good year for no ticks?

I pulled one off of me from the blues on a sunday and ended up in the emergency room by Wednesday night. I lost 25#'s in 6 days and it took over a month to get back to normal. I still haven't been able to put that weight back on either.I use the permethrine spray from Sawyer now and it seems to work.
They tested for spotted fever and lymes disease and those were both negative, so they drew more blood and apparently messed those tests up and by then i was getting better so it was too late to test for anything else.What I do know is that I was severely dehydrated and my white blood cell count was undetectable. The infectious diseases doctor told me that I was extremely lucky that I didn't catch anything else during this.To get back on track you should have a blast in the Wehaha. We had 2 tags for in there last year and the tag holders missed 3 bears.
