I'd go with Nickman's suggestion. A pillow case works well too. Then when you get home spray that sucker with some tempo or toss it in your freezer. Dead!

I spray all the giant elks I kill with RAID and do not get ticks in my back. Allso I poor a little Simple Green down their mouths and that helps with ticks. If you had a cape on your back then you probably gotted lucky haha. I do not think you probably are a good hunter but I am sure you will tell us you are.

Its hard for ticks to get through a burlap bag. We used these in kansas to pack deer out from our stands. soak up blood and keep ticks at bay. Just a thought.

Just shoot does since they don't carry ticks.

Sounds like you are shooting them too far away. Get closer and shoot them in the neck. Between the muzzle blast and the powder burns, your cape should be tick-free.
You could aslo try throwing them in the bed of your pickup next time. It is a whole lot easier to wash out your bed then it is your pack. It's also more comfortable driving without all that stuff on your back. Instead of a plastic bag, you can spend a few bucks more and get a bedliner. If you ever hunt in Cali, you won't be able to use a plastic bag anyway as they have been banned in a good portion of the state.
As long as you keep the windows rolled up good and tight, you should be ok.
If you do get a tick on you, twist it counter-clockwise. They come right out.

If the cape is coming off the head before packing I put it inside an Alaskan game bag...never had a problem with ticks, at least not yet! The buck I killed this year had a million on him, none ended up on me though thankfully.
How do you know the ticks were directly off the cape and didn't find their way directly to you, bypassing the deer altogether? I suppose a bit of Deet before handling the animal... Or just have your wife/girlfriend (best not both) go over you with a fine toothed comb as soon as your off the mountain.
