Salt Blocks w/Garlic Added?

Weird. I might try this once. I bet they get a pantload for these blocks.

Yeah, some guys were experimenting with garlic to help curb ehd. Moot point here in IL. The days of feeding or even giving a mineral block are long gone and will never be back.

Garlic added to loose trace mineral has been around in the cattle industry for a long time. Reduces all sorts of horn fly numbers and doesn't kill dung beetles like pour on Ivermectin does.

Might try a mix with garlic and/or ivermectin in Iowa (if I can get more info) in effectiveness.

Great idea...Maybe it will keep the vampires away!

What is really amazing, up in my neck of the woods, the tick populations can be outrageous some years. However, I've never seen the tick problems on deer that are seen in other parts of the country. I wish I understood what drove that. There were years when I went out and worked unprotected, and flicked off over 200 wood ticks in a day. I'd get up from taking a simple knee to work on something and flick a half dozen off from that one step.

Deer ticks seem to be slowly growing in prevalence. Most years, I never see one, but now I've gone from none, to a few, to too often.

I wonder if you guys will even be able to get ivermectin ever again. I haven't seen it at Fleet Farm in months.

Who knows. With covid, brandon's inflation, his supply chain, etc we may never have livestock grade ivermectin again. There's alternatives though.

Your guy's ticks are all on the moose up there. Summer trailcam pics show ticks on the ears of some of our deer. Can look pretty bad at times. I watch deer eat the ticks off each other so maybe it could be worse. I have pics somewhere of a couple of bucks taking turns preening each other.

Add some olive oil and I'm dipping my bread in that.

just something I know, they sell garlic natural mosquito solutions
https://www.amazon.com/Garlic-Barri...hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583726540506768&psc=1

, I mention this, as I have tried it, and after spraying my property with it, a LOT of the deer that sued to come about LEFT, they didn;t seem to enjoy the smell so much
it also didn;t do much for mosquito;s , or nothing l;ike other things I used before
I tried it due to was hoping for a more natural deal, but it didn;t work well, and I didn;t like it seeming to spook the deer and dother critters that used to show up before spraying,
they did some back after a while as smell passed away, so
food for thought maybe?

If it ever rains again, I'll have an epic mosquito crop. I've put in three small water holes in the past couple years. If it doesn't rain, I'm gonna make the most recent one bigger and deeper. I'll maybe transfer some mud minnows into them to try to eat the skeeters.

I imagine you could buy a bulk load of these mosquito dunks (see link below) and throw them in your water holes, too when water builds!
never read any,thing on them being harmful , they claim there NATURAL< , maybe look more into that first, but is another option
or build some bat house's near things, bats are incredible critters that are sadly dying off on us!

but these things are what I was taking about!

Our ticks are getting so big that they are cross breeding with the snapping turtles!

;)

Do we have fact checkers on this forum?

I actually saw one of your hybrids a week ago (they're migratory). I was surprised to see it on my place because I don't have jaguars. It spooked a 231 double drop tine buck I've been hunting, just out of my comfortable longbow range of 71 meters when the turtletick spooked it off. Luckily one of my armadillos came along and viscously killed it. Went ahead and freshened up my free choice alkaline neutralizer and selenium tubs so I shouldn't see any more this winter.

No need for fact checkers on the forum. All straight shooters!

Those turtle ticks are now more common than the snow snakes.

Turtle ticks have run the timber wolves out of the woods to the prairies. Coyotes don’t stand a chance.

Fact checkers need work. We gotta help’m out.

Snow Snakes. Boy we used to have those during rifle season in Wisconsin. Was so thankful for some peppermint schnapps as its a natural snake bite medicine. I could not believe how many guys got bit by those things.

Do you see them before or after the Schnapps?
