Don't worry too much stone. I've been pulling ticks out of my two boys all summer. My 3 year old just went to the doctor Monday for a tick in his upper ear! Wife noticed it while I was already at work and she couldn't get it out. My boy actually went to her complaining his ear hurt and she found it. No clue how long it was there. Doc got it out and said to just keep a eye on the area. He's shown no signs of Lyme or anything. But I've pulled at least 5 out of him and 3 or 4 from my other son this summer. Not counting the ticks we found crawling on them or in their hair.

Our dog seems to be a tick magnet. I know my wife has spent over $400 in the last 3 months on tick meds for this damn dog and he still picks up 2-3 a day! It's like never ending with him.

off topic- but how did you find this location based on his picture? or is this just a coincidence

I live around the corner from that exact area. FYI- should have called town which has an animal control officer who should have taken care of it. His name is Pete; great guy I whent to school with him. About 2 years ago we had a momma in our backyard that had a messed up leg from a yote and I couldn't take care of it myself ( for a number of reasons) so we called town and animal control responded. By the time we called to the time of arrival (20 mins) she had moved. It was odd to see a person running around the neighborhood with a firearm. He never did find it but it was good to know they will not let one suffer.

Wikipedia....really

Dr. Zubcevik said recent research debunks several commonly held beliefs about the transmission and treatment of tick-borne diseases.

“The conception that the tick has to be attached for 48 hours to inject the bacteria is completely outdated,” she said. “There are studies that show that an attachment of 15 minutes can give you anaplasmosis,10 minutes for the Powassan virus, and for the different strains of Borrelia burgdorferi, we have no idea.”

Well Anytime you get bit by a mosquito you can potentially get some thing but most times you don't .  Nothing to panic about . Most likely you will not get nothing . If your that paranoid don't go in the woods

That wasn't the point. The notion that it requires some lengthy time attached was

For you guys hunting the ADKs  noticed most seem to camp out any reason why is it just for the thrill of it or to be closer to your hunting spot or do  hotels just suck up there

When I say camp I don't actually camp it's a small two bedroom house. And it's not the ADK it's the catkskills

      Hi Everyone, 
      It is current the last week for regular season in upstate NY. Living the life working and being a full time student, I have some time off this week and would like to take a ride upstate to do a gun hunt. Never have I hunted public land in the areas 3 G, F, or N and was looking for some recommendations and help! I had used the DEC info locator and found California Hill and thought I might go there. Is there any recommendations on areas to go to in any of the wmu’s? Or on California? Any help would be really appreciated!! 
       
      best of holiday wishes!

      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      I'm new to the area and looking for some places to hunt  the next few weekends through bow/muzzleloader season. I'm living in New Paltz, and the place that seems the most promising to me so far is Vernooy Kill State forrest, and north into Sundown. Has anyone had any luck in these areas? Is there anywhere better in the area I should check out? Any info is welcome

      Hi Everyone,
      My name is Raul and I am a new hunter! I've been hunting public land for now, but have been suffering. I've done 2 10 hour sits at Kings Park and 3 10 hour sits at Rocky Point and haven't seen one deer. I use a treestand and use scent blocker. I also get there super early in the morning. I need help! I plan to go again this friday. I scouted Rocky point after the first day and always see sign and I try to hunt the areas, but no success. I hunt around 42 and 36 I think. If someone wants the exact spot I can send them it on a map. I am really just looking for help in any areas and everything. I have put so much effort yet all i want is to just see one that will keep moral up. Any help is really appreciated!
