Say HELLO to my little friend!

[The Buzzard King]

A tick!
I found this on my stomach tonight, after a short evening hunt.
Just a warning for everyone who hunts in the woods and fields.
Either use a repelant, or make sure you check yourself.
I almost didn't even notice it.
Just by a fluke chance, I rubbed my stomach and noticed a little bump.
Definately made me re-think my future methods today.
It's that time of year. H.H.

Thanks for the heads up. That's not pretty.

Nice find!! Thanks for the reminder.
I'm already using repellant on my boots/shoes and lower pants legs with the cuffs inside my socks.
But I may even start spraying even more after seeing that "bugger"!
I'd definitely check that out with a doctor with all that redness.
Hopefully, your post with help all of us to be a little more cautious.

That's my sole reason for posting it. If I can warn, or help anybody, to be more preventative, then I feel like I did the right thing.
I know lots of us just go out Gung-Ho, when we go out tectin'. Just a detector, a pouch, and a digger.
But It could really pay off someday, to make sure you're carrying a small safety kit, snake-bite kit, Repelants, cell phone, etc.
Cause I know some of us go to some seriously remote places, and if anything happened to us, it could be days before anyone found us! If ever.
