I just got back from a short overnight trip to Davy Crockett National Forest and ticks are starting to come out in the Piney Woods of east Texas. We did checks when we got home and fortunately no blood suckers. We have to check our little dachsund when we bring her back into the house to make sure she hasn't picked anything up.
