Bugs in deer corn feed?

What are the black bugs that look like ticks that get into my deer corn feed?Bugs in deer corn feed?
It is NOT a boll weevil.





Sorry to call out the first two answers, but it isn't a boll weevil.

Trust me- my boyfriend is a COTTON farmer and he knows all about boll weevils. Besides, if there is cotton in your area, then boll weevils will create a HUGE problem. They get their name from living in and eating cotton bolls.








It's probably a grain weevil. There's a HUGE difference between the two.
