The Ticks Are Out

Watch out for ticks particularly when:

• it is the first warm, sunny day in the spring, and it's a tad moist.
• it is early in the spring near the Missouri River, or any other place that is low and grassy.
• it is early to mid June, above 5300 ft.
• in the grass, even though they are called "wood ticks."  
• in sage brush.
