They can jump, but usually just wait for a host for them to fall on. A dog in a yard is a perfect host, as is any wooded area, because they may already be on the ground. Depending on the tick, a squirrel or a bird can have them in
addition to a deer, so just about any repellent is necessary. My advice...get outside and enjoy! We've survived Covid... Ticks can't overtake us!!
My property is loaded with pines. So your comment warranted some research.

Ticks do not live in pine trees.

Numerous sites say tall grass.
