Or get brushed onto a leg while moving through tall grass, which is how I always seem to end up dealing with them...

I think that's how most of us get them....kinda surprised that there isn't nearly as much tick action up here in Northern Vermont vs the Maine coast.

I think it has to do with the length of season. The White Mountains don't have ticks once you get north of the Sandwich Range (which does have them), and the region around Sugarloaf, as well as Baxter, don't have them, either.
