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

[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1191275, member: 42"] There is some research out there that suggests a link between deer population and tick population....I stumbled on it when looking into methods of controlling ticks in a military unit training area. I'll see if I can find the study, but it was based on the real experience of reducing the tick population in Lyme, CT following the Lyme disease outbreak. Granted, the correlation is reverse...the reduction of the tick population by treating the deer population for ticks. But there is a connection...in one test, they completely eliminated the tick larval population in a 15 acre test area by eliminating the deer population and putting up a game fence to keep the deer away.
