[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 141880, member: 367"] We got clobbered with a lot of snow up in the bush, I was out and about and didn't see any signs of wildlife since it quit snowing. We have a few deer that hang out in the farmyard and last time I saw any was 2 nights ago and they were belly deep in snow eating on a bale , Saw tracks today along the edge of the trees but nothing to the bale so they aren't hungry yet. We have a good 36'' of fluffy snow with huge drifts in sheltered areas and they are hunkered down where they can paw around and find food. Where the problem will be up here is later on once it crusts over and the snow below the crust gets crystalized like sugar so the deer drop in and can't move but the coyotes can run on top. We already have a good 36'' of snow and there is a lot of winter left, Temps will be a big factor but it won't be a good year for deer numbers in my neck of the woods even if it's a mild winter. I'd bet that we have more deer predators in ND right now than the oldest old timers can remember. This could be the start of a bad recipe. [/QUOTE]
