Chiggers are bright red and are generally found only singly whereas tick larvae are often found in clumps. Tick Larvae are most often encountered in large numbers on roads and trails where deer walk that have high grass and brush.The ticks gorge themselves on deer blood then fall off,most often on trails where deer spend much of their time walking,bedding areas will also be loaded.The tick now protein fortified will lay their eggs where they fall on the trail.When the little bastards hatch out several days later they ascend in mass up the nearest vertical plant they can find and hold on and wait for their prey to pass by (warm blooded mammals and yep,thats me and you) They can wait for months no problem.They are sensitive to smell and air currents caused by moving prey just as their parents were and when they sense something headed their way stretch out with their front claws to grasp it as it walks by. Tick larvae are a brick reddish brown colored,not bright red like a chigger and tick larvae like ticks have eight legs for they are arachnids not insects.Chiggers have six legs as a good insect should.

Chances are greatly in favor of your getting tick larvae instead of true chiggers but everyone around here calls tick larvare chiggers and I didn't know the difference most of my life and still call them chiggers and always will so I doubt anyone here will nitpick the difference just like no one here will have anything to say about you calling H20 Wooder,we all do.

Lone Star Ticks vs. Chiggers - Rhode Island Natural History Survey
by David Gregg The $5 term for the ticks and mosquitoes, no-see-ums, deer flies, horse flies, and all that literally bug us while we're enjoying our outdoors pursuits, collectively, is "haematophagous arthropods." Mites are in the Acari, a sub-class of the Arachnida (spiders and kin) and are...

I'm 70+ so I no longer need a fishing license in NJ, and have a lifetime license in GA.
NJ is actually quite reasonable at $22.50 for a fishing license. 64-69 years old it’s $12.50. Above 70 you don’t need a license. I paid $49 last month for a 15 day Maine fishing license. I have a three day fishing trip in PA planned for September. Not only do I have to buy a fishing license, I also have to buy a ramp permit to launch a boat. All toll around $60.
Fishing license enforcement in NJ is pretty scant, and they will usually let you off with a warning. I have a friend who received a summons 6-8 years ago. The fine was $150. He told the Fish & Game officer he had a fishing license, but forgot to bring it with him. The cop checked on his computer and discovered he was lying. The officer said if he had been honest about not having a license he would let him off with a warning.
As a sport fisherman I wish everybody would catch & release bass. NJ lakes get a lot of pressure and over the years I have seen lakes that were fantastic for catching bass get destroyed by people who carted most of them away in buckets.
