Is the tick level, or is it not, a generally good measure of the deer density?

[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1190748, member: 7123"] Yesterday when out scouting, filling feeder, etc., I got about 50 ticks on me literally. Probably pulled off 20 not dug in, and 25+ dug in. Like an idiot, I wore shorts, and no permethrin. It was brutal. Yes, I know we've had lots of rain and they're bad everywhere, but that aside, ceteris paribus, it is a general clue that high ticks = high deer, and low ticks=lower deer density, if scouting an area? I've got a feeling that there's more in this particular area that I had initially surmised, but maybe it's just the rain, etc. - hunted this area for the first time 2 years ago. Also, yesterday working like a dog in that heat with god's insect creatures, reminded me of a scene from Saving Private Ryan. Y'all remember that scene where Oppum is asking the Captain whether he needs to take his typewriter on the mission, and the Captain simply holds up his pencil without saying a word? Well, yesterday, if someone would have seen me in the woods, and how I looked afterward, and then simply said "hey look at this crazy new invention": [b][Broken External Image][/b] I would probably have thought "You're right - what in the hell am I DOING out here - why do I hunt at all, for #$%#$^ sake?!" :D [/QUOTE]
