My son shot his first ever buck this weekend. When cleaning it, it had hundreds of these bugs on the bottom side of the deer. I have never seen these. They are not ticks. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/01/full-15557-174005-118ce59f_ea8b_4b92_92ef_40fd24f32b52.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/01/full-15557-174006-af88cc65_4bb8_4b6f_923d_181ebd267fab.jpeg)

Shot an animal in the heart once. He dropped at the shot & without so much as a kick. As I walked up to it I was amazed at the ticks exiting the scene. Once the blood stopped pumping they were outta there.

Deer lice. Big deal they all have them especially during the warmer months. This year they seem to have hung on longer than usual.

Oh man! That's making me think back to the first deer I ever shot. I didn't have much in the way of "equipment" so to get her into the truck I just bear hugged it and hucked into the truck bed. Now I'm thinking ... I ... will ... never ... do ... that ... again!! lol

Chad where’s the picks of the boy with the smile and the deer? Here you go!! 170 yard shot, Tikka T3 compact in 308 win with my 168 A-max BULK ammo. Dialed up .2 mils, and center punched him. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/01/full-15557-174165-7c97eb72_faec_4bd0_896e_c3512eb7c97b.jpeg)
