Thread: Ticks in small game

most hares I shoot are riddled with them
I think its a warm area mixed with stock thing, as they are just the same cattle ticks that my cows get

puts me off eating them after seeing the life literally sucked out of them by ticks
rabbits on the otherhand up here seem to be clean, but that may just be that the hare is older and has seen a previous tick season and the rabbits are less than a year old
