Probably one of those big grain fed deer they have up that way. We hear about those Wisconsin monsters all the time here in Tennessee, since some of our WL agency's original reintroductions of whitetails here came from Wisconsin.
We still have a annual ritual where camo clad hunters go into the woods every year looking for the descendants of those Wisconsin monsters.

Hey, don't they have reintroduced Elk up there in Tenn..i thought I read in F&S one time about it..
Most people around here know what a whitetail looks like. Since you only mention camo season on them in your parts... no gun season?
I guess they brought the seed ticks with them. Rumor is they either came in on the Canadian Elk or those whitetail from WI you are talking about.
Wish they had never come down here. You can't enjoy the farm or woods anymore because of them.
Lots of irritating, insect-like things come down from the North to plague us southerners.
