racinfarmer Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 No, not that jackass member, that creepy crawly thing. Out here is Western MN has been really bad. I've found a dozen crawling around me this weekend. Anyone else seem to notice a lot more of those blood suckers than normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted May 15, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 15, 2023 Whatever happened to that member? Seems average around here this season, pulled one tick off my neck that had a pretty good bite underway about a week ago..nice big red welt for a couple days but that's the first one I've seen this year.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted May 15, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 15, 2023 Our Blue Heeler had Lyme two years ago and a months worth of antibiotics knocked it out…..I try to avoid the woods during spring and summer and hit the dunes and lake instead. Feel more comfortable when there is a couple feet of snow on the ground.👍🏼🐶 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
