Anyone have a method of dealing with infested capes. I have one in the shop now that has hundreds of them from some of the biggest I ever seen to vary small deer tics. or is just the matter of putting up with them until I pickle the hide. any suggestions would be appreciated.  thanks from Wisconsin.

Yesterday my son went to the emergency room with an imbedded tick by his ankle & already showing the classic bullseye. He is now on a course of antibiotics. They told him at the ER that they see at least 1 case every shift during hunting season. Our new policy is NO deer in the shop til they have been thorougly sprayed with tick killer AND spent at least 3 days in a freezer. They are nothing to play with. I would have that deer out of the shop & bomb the entire shop with a tick killer.
