We have a lot of trees around our yard but actually unless it is really blowing most of the deer are staying out in the corn yet. A few are in the cat tails but they are filling up now. What surprises me is that they are still out digging for soy beans. They must be awfully good nutrition for deer. I think they have to do with the bigger horns we have been seeing as well. of course the snow is less as there is no stubble but we still have probably a foot on the open most places. But come evening in they come. Last nite heading home we only have a narrow path plowed out on Mom and Dads long drive way where our cows are counted over 120 deer in the drive way. Snow is 5 foot high on the sides yet so they just turned and went in front of me. They didn;'t go 30 yards out into the field at the end of the driveway and just stood there while I turned into ours. Got a guy, his uncle and his nephew sitting now, hopefully they can whack some. One of the good bucks we let go for next year 6x6 showed up with a broken leg so got him with the bow the other evening.  another good one we let go, 5x4 is laying dead out in the trees with the magpies and ravens feeding on him.  Sucks. Wondering what others saw,  the three bucks we shot 2 sons and Dad's had NO fat on them this fall. Usually with the crops up here peas, soybeans, corn, alfalfa ect....they have lots of back fat. This year not hardly any. Heard a few other people say that as well. I was spouting off telling the boys maybe it was going to be an easy winter.................Found 5 sheds so far, the bigger bucks are dropping.</blockquote>
