Re: Buggy surprise on my first BC deer
Every deer I've ever shot here on the island has been crawling with ticks all over. I don't look too hard but I've seen up to 20 on a single deer. I've even had them jump from the deer and crawl up my legs as I dress a deer out. I've seen lots of videos and pictures of guys packing deer out like a backpack and things, it makes me cringe, I'm surprised to not hear hunters talk about ticks more when handling their kills.
If you are not wet, cold, and have sore legs, you're not blacktail hunting.
