What's up guys! With spring creeping up ever so close, the ticks and mosquitos are not far behind. I plan on spending a lot of time in the woods this spring scouting out areas, setting stands, cameras, and salt blocks and I seem to be very susceptible to attracting ticks! I've found that Buggins works wonder for keeping gnats away and works well for mosquitos too! But I need to find something the will keep a minimal number of ticks from latching on as possible! Thanks!

Check me out on YouTube. I will hopefully be getting one up a week!

I agree spray your clothes in Sawyers. It lasts several washes. Anyone ever use the Elimitick clothing?

use this combo of treatment for you clothes (Permethrin) and your skin (DEET lotion) and you will be in good shape, also check good after you get home from the woods for any ticks

I use Repel - Permanone for my clothes. Hunting in the Southern part of the state(what I call) Turkey ticks are terrible. This is the only thing I have found that works really great agaisnt these guys. Not had a problem since I started using it. GREAT STUFF
