Yep thanks I think we call them warvel and they use deer as their hosts.

Ugly huge larve which buries under the deers pelt. too many will kill the deer!!!  This is because the holes in the pelt are so large that the rain gets in causing a condition known as wet back.

Got there in the end.

Thanks hope I haven't put anyone off their venison. :lol:
