[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 3012963, member: 8855"] Sticky - You have known me for several years and you know how passionate I am about things that I do. The idea was born out of frustration watching these deer suffering a week ago last Saturday when you were at my hunter education class. I saw one of my does with a bloodied face due to an excessive amount of ticks around her eyes, ears and neck.
