They make a feed that is supposed to repel ticks.
Goggle “deer feed that kills ticks”

Hang a Sevin dust bag under your feeder like they use for cattle.

our neighbors used to shoot in the summer to fill depredation tags. The ticks would be so bad around the deer's ears and eyes that when they shot a doe , they were mercifully putting it out of it's misery.

I remember back in the last century we never got ticks. Used to tromp the woods on the Grandparent's and Uncle's farm hunting and shooting and helping out with whatever they needed. Never got a tick even during squirrel season. Then as deer started to make their comeback it seemed you could not do anything outdoors without getting some.
My biggest fear is bringing the little suckers in to the house with me.

The first encounter we had with them was in 1983 . My neighbors had a "pet" deer fawn and it would come in from the woods for a bottle so my 3 year old daughter got to feed him one day in late August and hug him and pet him and then ended up in the ER covered in seed ticks. They were in her ears so bad that we couldn't get them all off her. The doctor removed the ear ones and sent us home to give her a shower with RID lice shampoo .

I suspect there is something in our individual body chemistry that attracts ticks. I rarely get them on me or have much problem despite lots of time in the field, brush, weeds, etc. However, I have friends who can sit on the front porch and get ticks on them.
Dogs running loose sure have a way of bringing ticks into your house.

Pray you guys never get Alpha-Gal, you will never eat your deer again. My best friend had it. He had an acupuncture procedure done (Dr. referred him), they put a needle into his ear, which stayed in a couple weeks. ( Cured him completely. ) You can Google it, has a high success rate. The needle is placed into a nerve I believe.
