For those of you who live in areas where the ticks abound, here is something that I have done on several occasions, and it works quite well. First I wear long pants........I put a dogs flea and tick collar around each ankle on the outside of my jeans. You can save the bags and put the collars back and reuse them all season long. Might wanna bring along some wipes or something to wipe your hands off after handling the collars in the field.
 
Good idea, Don. Another option is to spray your shoes and clothes, not your skin, with a spray containing permethrin. The skin can be sprayed with a DEET spray. It's been dry here through the spring, maybe that's why I haven't noticed many ticks yet.
