So, I'm about to get down and dirty on the doe I nailed this morning. But what does everyone do about early season deer and the loads of ticks they carry?

Until the first freeze our deer are always covered. What do you guys do when cleaning to avoid getting them on you and the myriad of diseases they carry?

I killed my first deer 36 years ago and have gutted & skinned countless deer, hogs and exotics since then. I've honestly never worried about the ticks I see on the animals.

Roll up your sleeves, wear gloves, and work fast. Check yourself thoroughly when you are done.

And wash your clothes on a hot cycle. It will ensure anyou clinging to your clothes die.

If you are still wortied, there are net suits you can buy that will prevent them from getting on you. Have never used one while cleaning, but we use them when turkey hunting by the river

I've been hunting for over 20 years. But it's only been the last couple that I have cared. I guess the Internet has shown me how easy it is to pick up some nasty bugs.

Never heard of them biting humans before, but i guess it's possible.
