I agree with Angela about those ticks! I'd take mosquitoes and black flies any day over ticks. I've heard that deer and moose are literally infested with them. I've never hunted one, but I don't think I could eat the meat of a deer that had hundreds of ticks on its hide.
I don't think you're 'sposed to eat the hide.
