Our deer are loaded with them in PA. Most hunters mistakenly refer to them as ticks. They are a fly and drop their wings when they find a host. They land on people and bite them too. I have been bitten on the neck by them before. They move very fast as opposed to ticks, even in cold weather.
I believe thatPA is infested withthem because of the overpopulation of deer in past years.

I have not seen any but will keep my eyes open for them from now on.

I see them all the time while skinning deer here in the western Finger Lakes Region of NY...seems like most every deer has a few on them. I've even had a few crawling in my hairover the years too after skinning a deer. I don't really even paymuch attention to them. Thankfully, my area doesn't have many ticks...I've never even seenadeertick on adeer thats been harvested around here.
