Oddly enuf, Charlie, I just pulled one off my dog after picking him up a my parents when I came home from bear camp - was around 5 degrees Monday am at camp - 2 hrs north of the dog sitters! And this was WITH Frontline. I work out side quite a bit and have noticed they seem SUPER hungry when it first getting cold or warming up in a season - spring or fall - may even be some snow on the ground then.
Well,,, at least our Ticks have the decency to die or hibernate or do what ever the he11 Ticks do in the winter
Not sure which is worse though, ticks or our nasty little burrs. I can guarantee,,, you drag a Cat through a patch of em and regardless of how many you pick out you'll find one or two the hard way while fleshing. Not to mention all the hair you'll pull out trying to de-burr em.
You guys can drag em or skin at the trap site or do any number of things you like but I'll continue to carry mine and skin em in my garage with a nice fire going in the stove.
