How do you handle ticks and such?

@tartredarrow You can hang them on a post and the fleas should leave the body as they feel it cool.

The reason the pellet hit high v low is that the briar branch "swung" the pellet up. A .22 long rifle would have hit low since it is travelling at a much faster speed with more mass the deflection would cause a ricoche downward. Great vids. I grew up shooting in the midwest of the US where we shoot every gun imaginable including pellet guns, and have seen this a lot.

@tartredarrow Sadly nothing as there isn't any market for them here.
