They eat my garden... but I can't shoot 'em because they're bound to end up bleeding out in some poor kid's sandbox.

Where we are, our county conducts yearly deer population control in the off-season in the local parks (usually weekends in January/Feb, right after the public hunting season)
Same here, and yet ticks everywhere, freezer empty...
Opossums eat ticks like mad and are immune to rabies. Maybe trap some and release around the garden?

They do not eat lots of ticks - but will eat them if they have to.

I'v heard chickens are quite effective though.

Chickens do absolutely love to eat bugs.
