Whenever we have a moderate/mild winter, the ticks end up having more animals to feed from, and thus reproduce more.
Add to this the increasing range of most "native" wildlife, and you end up with ticks getting a free ride onto your property (or closer to it).

I wonder if any deer hunters have noticed an increase in ticks on the deer they harvested?
