It helps, but isnt 100%. My pack was treated with Sawyer Permethrine.

That looks familiar!  I had 12 of the suckers on me during the April 2013 Lick Cr hunt.

Don't forget your 5 knives, 2 multi-tools and a survival saw.

No. While those are all important, nothing trumps the glow sticks. Most important piece of gear in my pack.

Thanks for the info guys, I bought 2 24oz spray bottles a bit ago from amazon for around 34.00.  I sure hope it works even a little, half the amount of tic's is worth the money.

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?

Everyone bitches about ticks and I'm yet to ever find one on me. Maybe they don't like me?

Last year we spent 3 days over memorial doing a loop and between three guys we picked off a bare minimum of 50 each.

Better safe than sorry!

 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.

Did they diagnose you with anything?

[JM]

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.

I don't get them on me too often either, but I've also been using the permethrin for a couple years too.
