Ticks on Deer

[retrieverman]

I know most of y’all haven’t got into the swing of deer season yet, but for those that have cameras out, are you seeing as many ticks on the deer this year as in the past?

I just started paying attention over the last few days, and I’m not seeing near as many. Even with my place being overgrown and unmowed, I have only had a couple ticks get on me which is odd.

I wonder if climate change has had an adverse effect on the tick population?!?

I've never had one with ears covered like I see in some cam pics. Anywhere in OK or KS.

Upper NE OK. Stiil has plenty of ticks.

What I’ve seen seems pretty much usual. A couple with tons others with very few. Oddly, me and the wife earlier this spring we were finding tics crawling or attached on US daily. The past few weeks NONE. Not sure what changed

I’ve posted pics of deer covered in ticks from Osage County in the past. Don’t know about this year.

Deer ticks were horrible this spring and early summer. Looking at pictures and the deer in the yard, it does seem to have let up in the last month. My dogs aren't getting them on them either. Seed ticks are a whole other ball game...

Same here. I couldn’t go outside this spring without having ticks on me, but it hasn’t been a problem at all this summer. Of course, I still ask my wife if she wants me to check her for ticks on a nightly basis. The answer is still no every single night, but I think that I’m wearing her down.

I hate it when they get on my sac.....walk around digging for week or so.
