You are right. This is something I have always just called a wood tick and assumed it was right. Didn't bother to look into any more than that. The Range is definitely wrong, I will change it, Thanks.
Based on your location and the physical characteristics of this tick, this is an American Dog Tick. Here's a link that might be helpful to you in the future: http://www.tickencounter.org/tick_identi...
