Cattle dust bags for deer

[Brute Killer]

Does anyone know if the dust bags intended for cattle are safe for deer?
My little bunch of deer that live in my yard seem to have bots right now. I'm wondering if I hung a dust bag up if they would use it, and if it would be safe for them. Has anyone ever used one? I sent in the same question to the parks and wildlife website.

Mesquite Country used them at their S Tx place. I haven't seen him on THB is a long while. They had them stretched between the legs on their feeders to hit about the height on the back of a deer.

From the email:

Honestly, I'm not sure if the deer would use something like that unless you force them into it. For example, a high fence feeding station that they have to enter into and exit only under the dust bags. In reality, the deer have ectoparasites (and endoparasites) naturally and for the most part are not overly burdened by them. Creating a feeding station would increase the risk of disease transmission which is far more harmful to the animals than fleas, ticks, and flies would be except in extreme cases.

Brute Killer can you elaborate more on what this does and how you know the deer have bot worms

They get bots in their nose and are frequently trying to blow them out (not an alarm snort).
