That is a louse fly (also called ked). Don't worry, it isn't a danger to people.

They do seem to get all over youand move very fast. they seem real active when the weather is warm. Shot a doe in 75 degree weather last week and they were all over us while we skinned it.

They may be harmless but they'll sure give you the heebie jeebies!!!

Medical and Veterinary Importance
No parasites, predators, or diseases have been described from the Neotropical deer ked on white tailed deer. They are not known to transmit any disease to deer or humans. Hunters dressing harvested deer are likely to encounter these flies and possibly may be bitten.
Not known to transmit disease, but they do bite..............
