Layer of Protection
As the range of black-legged ticks expands and the number of Lyme disease cases explodes, protecting against the tiny arachnids is becoming a health safety matter for turkey hunters.
For years, many hunters in tick country sprayed their clothing with permethrin to ward off ticks, and Elimi-Tick was the only option in permethrin treated clothing. Now, a growing number of companies are offering clothing with permethrin treatment embedded in the cloth. Recently, new offerings were launch from Final Approach, Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's and Sitka.
