RE: What the DCNR wants
Oh yeh lime disease, I forgot thats all the deer's fault, not mice or birds or anything like my vet told me, but my vet isn't a deer biologist working for the DCNRso why would I listen to her when she says deer ticks are lazy parasites that sit and wait for any host to come by!!!

RE: What the DCNR wants
While it's true that deer aren't carriers of lyme's disease,they are a big host for the ticks.However,I'm not convinced too many deer is the problem.For some reason,certain areas,whether they have alot of deer or very few are loaded with ticks.I don't know the reason for this.For some reason,some areas justseem to be tick magnets.
