The ticks would congregate at salt licks. “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.” ― Ronald Reagan

Make sure you’re sending fire every 2-3 years. Fire late growing season is magical. Not a fan of fire Nov-Feb but it has its small benefits.
