OMG!! Winter ticks? As opposed to Summer ticks, nighttime ticks, hot weather ticks? BS.

There are a lot of different species of ticks and winter ticks are one. Whether they are a threat to the moose herd is highly questionable since all large game animals harbor these bugs without much damage. Anyway, one cold snowy winter will apparently solve the alleged problem.
