Hansi, what works great for me is to buy a few aerosol cans of high concentration Permethrin / Deet tick repellant to last the season...and a few days before I'm going to wear a set of clothes hunting I hang them in the garage and spray them down heavily...I mean heavily...same with the vest, boots, hat, facenet, gloves, stool, or anything else you'll be wearing.hanshi said:Congratulations, Wattlebuster. Our season opens April 14th. Got to ask; did you run into any ticks? I'm paranoid about ticks and remember being covered with them late season in Ga.
