75% of NH Moose deaths tick related.

[Cornhusker]

The ticks in my area are terrible this year. I had a possum die in my yard the other day I believe from ticks, he was covered every inch by them. I have hunted in Africa where the ticks covered animals at times but never really thought about them having a mortality rate on a big game specie like the study in New Hampshire says.

I was sooooooo lucky to cash my NH points (1% odds) in 2012 and take a nice bull. The biologist interviewed in this article, Kristine Rines, was actually the one who I checked him in to. She did all the testing on it. Mine was very healthy and had no ticks due to the late October season I harvested him in. Moose quotas have plummeted since then.
