In this week's episode of the Deer Season 365 Podcast we're talking with Dr. Michael Yabsley of the University of Georgia. Michael is a professor of wildlife diseases with UGA’s Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, as well as a researcher with the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study, and we brought Michael on to talk all about ticks, tick-borne diseases, and how to best protect yourself from them.
It’s that time of year when ticks really start to become an issue, and many of you will soon start running trail cameras, hanging deer stands, clearing shooting lanes, and working on food plots, and you need to take the necessary precautions to prevent tick exposure as much as possible.
