The Best Tick and Mosquito Protection While Hunting, Tested in the Field

After getting Lyme disease as a toddler, I don't mess around with tick protection—especially during hunting season.

Even the most seasoned hunter knows it's tough to remain motionless in the turkey woods when mosquitoes swarm your face or a tick inches its way up your pant leg.

After being diagnosed with Lyme disease as a toddler, I'm especially aware of the health risks and always take precautions to protect myself from ticks and mosquitoes in the field. While I won't let these worries keep me from running and gunning in nasty country, I rely on a few essentials to minimize my risk of picking up ticks along the way.

I put many products to the test on several spring turkey hunting missions, and these stand out as the best tick and mosquito protection for hunters. Read the full article written by Emily Kantner here.
