A new trend is making the rounds in the hunting community. Putting sulfur blocks on your property to help reduce ticks on deer. Ticks are a huge problem, especially with Lyme disease and alpha-gal syndrome, and anyone who has ever dragged a deer back to the truck covered in them knows the last thing you want is those ticks ending up around your vehicle, house, or kids. People are claiming sulfur blocks can dramatically reduce ticks on deer, so I decided to try it myself. I’ve put a couple out on my hunting property this year and I’m going to see if I notice any difference. But I want to hear from people who have actually used them. Did sulfur blocks noticeably reduce the ticks on your deer, or is this just another hunting myth?
