[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 147749, member: 367"] For maybe the 2nd o 3rd time in over 30 years we don't have deer in the yard this time of the year. Saw some the night of the first big storm 3weeks ago that were belly deep in snow eating off a bale and that is the last we have seen any, Don't know if they are hunkered down or were run off by coyotes. Years ago I flew the farm during a tough winter like this and the deer were way back in the woods (oak trees) close to sloughs in scattered small groups and didn't look like they had moved much all winter and they came out of that winter just fine. The difference this year is all the Coyotes, I'm afraid those lousy bums are going to eat a lot of venison this winter. On a side note we have a pine marten that is loving this crappy winter. He tunnels under the snow and has holes that he comes out and travels above ground for a ways and he is snooping around the buildings. I put a couple hunks of fish out and he found it but didn't eat much if any but he ate some cat food soaked in used cooking oil. He is holed up under a huge sow drift in the plum trees and probably so full of mice and dehydrated plums that he just likes to come out and explore. Red fox and magpies liked the fish. [/QUOTE]
