Well not exactly Frontline but if you drink a quart of moonshine while you are in tick infested areas you won't see any.

Not only that Ronnie the ticks you won't be able to see will take one bite, get drunk and fall off as they will not be able to hang on :)

Tick haters unite and be prepared to be grossed out. Personally I think deer are the primary carriers of ticks. Personal close up observation. We feed the deer starting in late Winter through fawning season. Just a bit to help them out and to be able to watch them out the back window. Just a little corn once daily. After seeing this thread about ticks I knew I had to show and tell. I put out the trail cam for one Evening feeding. We have five consistent does each evening that show up. Different deer seem to get effected in different places on there bodies and you will see that we have one that has very little. This doe is at least 7 years old. How do I know? Look at her front right leg in the knee area. She is a cripple and her knee is really screwed up. She is almost club footed from dragging and babying that leg. She is also a good mother and generally has twins and one year triplets. Last couple of years with the dry weather and the disease spread by midges most of out does aborted or lost there fawns early. Two of these deer have so many engorged ticks on there ears making them so heavy they droop.

Blech, I hate those nasty ticks. It had been a bad year for them so far and even wwith flea and tick medicine we have had to pick 8 or 9 off our dog.

During Turkey season I had one bury in right on the tip of my you know what.

Don't think you'd be seeing much of anything after drinking that much shine...lol

Exactly. No tick problem. Well until you recover. :)

Dang Billet, those deer are just nasty. Try mixing some antibiotic with that feed and some Ivermectin for the ticks and other crap that is on her. Maybe a little Frontline too.

Used too, tick diseases were rare. Now I hear about several people getting something each year now it seems. Rocky Mountain, Lymes, and now the Heartland disease. And tick bites seem to fester up more now than before.

I will have to try the Vicks.

Last Spring I was in the Hospital and was operated on because of a Tick Bite.

Did they have to cut the tick off or something else?
