Getting lots of ticks/mites during the fall in Idaho. Am I the only one?
No; I haven't noticed any that have attached. Although, they're so darn small, I'd imagine that some may have and went unnoticed. Yeah, I'll keep up with the permethrin. Thanks for the info on chigger bites vs seeing chiggers. I agree, it seems like most of the anecdotal information being given...- AlphaSuerte

New Old Guy From California
Howdy. I recently joined this forum as well. I was born and raised in Southern California, and later moved to Crowley Lake, near X9a (I'm in Idaho now). I didn't hunt at the time, but I did have a friend who pulled some high-country bucks out of there. Are you planning to hunt down in the...- AlphaSuerte

Howdy, from Idaho!
Hello, all. I moved to Idaho four years ago from a less desirable state, and I got the itch to start hunting. I, now, truly appreciate the amount of public land that is available us all, and I'm a proud BHA member. I've been enjoying the journey of learning and applying that knowledge in the...- AlphaSuerte

Yeah, that looks about right. As much as I don't want to admit that I'm getting covered in tiny ticks every season, I think that's the case.- AlphaSuerte

Could very well be chiggers/clover mites (I believe these are the same). I haven't had any of symptoms associated with the bites for these, but maybe that just means the Permethrine is working. Hopefully, I'll get a positive ID this fall.- AlphaSuerte

After the first bout, I've been soaking my boots and pants in Permethrine. I think I'll follow your advice and arm myself with a ziplock bag for enemy extraction/identification. Thanks.- AlphaSuerte

Getting lots of ticks/mites during the fall in Idaho. Am I the only one?
Thanks for the resources. I'm here in East Idaho, where its relatively cold and dry in the fall. After the first season this happened, I actually started using that exact product -I probably should have included this in the post. So, for the last two seasons, whatever these little demons are...- AlphaSuerte

Over the past three seasons, I have been 'attacked' by hordes of either hatching, larval ticks, or some type of mite that looks just like a tiny tick. I am not picking them up while walking through brush; however, if I sit (or even stand) for long enough in one place, I will eventually find tens...- AlphaSuerte
