Ticks can impair and even kill fawns, particularly in bad tick years. As these parasites expand their range across the U.S., nasty infestations in young deer could become more of a concern.
“What happens with fawns, particularly in that first week or so of life, is they’re taught to hide and they’re just laying there in cover — in vegetation where ticks are. So unfortunately, early in life during really bad tick years, ticks can get all over these fawns.” — kipadams_nda
