Also, here is a recent press release written by my "marketeer" Liz Fischer in conjunction with June, Wood Tick Month":
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Environmental Group Protests Treatment of Wood Ticks
The environmental group Friends of the Forest Floor is targeting Larry Heagle for promoting inhumane treatment of wood ticks. With Heagle's declaration of June as National Wood Tick Month, the group is very concerned about his encouraging people to bag their limit in ticks, telling them how to do away with the critters, and offering them a Wood Tick Rescue Kit. They cite Heagle's suggestion of whacking ticks with a meat cleaver as heavy-handed and cruel.
"Wood ticks are important to the environment as a parasite link between bacteria, animals, and humans," comments the group's spokesperson. "We are already concerned about the tick's welfare. We don't need Larry Heagle inciting the public to find and destroy more ticks."
The group finds Heagle's new video on YouTube tasteless. "That video goes way too far," notes the spokesperson. "Getting naked in the woods is not a safe practice. If Larry Heagle doesn't cease his attack on wood ticks, we will boycott him and his song."
Heagle dismisses the group's concerns. "I've already picked seventy-five wood ticks off me this year, and it's only the start of wood tick month. This group needs to worry about some other friend of the forest floor, not wood ticks. My video and song give people ideas of how to check for ticks and how to get rid of them. I'm speaking from experience. After all, I am a super-charged tick magnet."
(And here all these years I thought they were saying that I was a "chick magnet")

Although there is no "hard evidence", rumor has it through Bill Mitchell of radio Rhinelander that several summers ago country singer Brad Paisley did some fishing in Rhinelander's excellent fishing waters.
Paisley's guide had a portable radio with him while they fished and he attests that Paisley heard Heagle's Wood Tick Song played at least once while they were fishing.
Later that summer, Paisley released his "Wood Tick Song". Coincidence?
