Carry strap included. MSRP: $69.99; millenniumstands.com.

Best of all, these boots are made for snake country, incorporating lightweight and flexible Realtree Timber high-abrasion, snake-guard material to its full, 16-inch height. MSRP: $165; rockyboots.com.

Ben's Tick Repellent Spray

Picaridin is safe to use on clothing, gear and skin.  Another plus, the non-greasy formula won't ruin sunglasses or other synthetic materials such as your raincoat or shotgun.
