And I use to hunt in PA, when they didn't have the problem. The warmer weather over a decade or so didn't help.

I still remember reading about Lyme, Conn. They had a deer reserve and the non hunting neighbors wanted no hunting of deer. Then they got the Lyme Diseases, named in their honor.
After that, the non-hunting neighbors wanted all the deer wiped out. That article still is implanted in my memory.
