Does this warm weather have you itching to get outside? Enjoy! But don't forget it's #TickSeason. As you spend more time outdoors, prevent tick and #mosquito bites. Learn how to #FightTheBite: dhs.wisconsin.gov/fight-bite… @WDNR @WisconsinDPI
Tick Season is Here. Use EPA-registered insect repellents on exposed skin and clothes to prevent tick bites. Wear long sleeved shirts, pants, and tall socks when outdoors. Check for ticks on your clothes, gear, and pets after being outdoors. Learn more: dhs.wisconsin.gov/tick/bite-prevention.htm

Dispose of your carcass at a landfill or deer dumpster location across the state. Proper disposal reduces the spread of CWD and is one of the best ways we can prevent its spread. Kelly said it best: "Wisconsin’s deer herd depends on it.” Learn more: dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/wild…
