Im going huntin at Grant next wkend and ive never been there before is there anyone out there that maybe can give me a little insite as to where or how to hunt and what to expect from ticks, chiggars and such. Because i went to JOE CURZ last wkend and I literally had hundredes of seed and deer ticks all over me. Dad got into alot of chiggars but I some how slipped out on those. (thank GOD)emoWorthy

Get you some stuuf that had some deet in it. That will keep them off of you. Don't get it on you skin. Spray your clothing and around the boots. I used it all day yesterday and today the only bites I got are those up top from the flying kind. Jmax

I hunted it a few years ago. But it was late in the season . So I had not problem with ticks. I read an article in gon that said you need insect repellent with Permanone or Duranon in it. This would protect you from ticks ,chiggers,and mesquitos. Be careful this has to be sprayed on clothes and not skin. It stated that Deet was really ineffective at repelling ticks. This whole article was on ticks . I never thought of this but it said pull the ticks off of you and save them in alcohol in case you get sick they can identify what tick and maybe why you got sick. But back to B.F. grant . I hunted close to the dairy. It was a pretty good hike in there but 2 legal bucks where killed with in 300yds. of me . They guy I was hunting w, a buck was killed a 100yds. from him. Good luck I hope you stick one. Sorry didn't look at the date you are probably already down there but maybe the tick info will help
