long sleeves and long pants..

..and work boots.. ;-)

Mine are 9" - with the BDU's tucked in. Although that's more to keep the ticks from crawling up the inside of the pant leg - it's easier to spot them if they must stay on the visible side of the clothing. ;-)

I can't recall any reports of rattler bites around here but you hear of copperhead bites periodically. Nonetheless, the NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation (our tax dollars at work..) says we're in timber rattler territory..

As is Tax Chick and NNB (I think)..

We had cowboy boots...

Of course, the area we used to play in and got so much enjoyment from is now high density housing... How sad...

I had a tick crawling on me last night.

My new procedure is to prepare them for slide viewing with Scotch tape. They remain visible, and they don’t crawl away.

Stick, wrap, done.
