Lots of game animals have fleas, ticks, etc. Nobody delouses their deer, do they? I have shot a few deer that had a lot of ticks that dropped off the carcass after it cooled. But that kind of cooling is a problem in the summer. Just gut 'em and skin 'em and the pests will be gone with the entrails and hide. Stick with the young chuck's or you may not go back for seconds.
