Where I come from, the central part of the continent, we have dog ticks, which are generally referred to as wood ticks. The real wood tick is found further west. They are very similar in appearance, but I don't think the dog tick carries Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Neither carry Lyme disease. The deer tick does, and I'm scared of them because they are tiny and difficult to detect, as a result. If you frequent areas of long grass or brushy areas, do a careful tick search after you've been out.
