Message: <blockquote data-quote="MarbleEyez" data-source="post: 141907" data-attributes="member: 1292">Was out Saturday, buddy wanted to get the dog out one last time and chase some roosters (perfect day for it ). We were busting through the snow in the low bottoms/drainage creeks in the fields. Got to the cat tails that were snow blown in and it was an eruption of birds. There was burrows and tunnels going through there like a maze. Dogs didn't know which way to point! The fields have bare spots to trace amounts in them and all section lines are blown in. After this last snowfall on Sat out total is around 11"-15" depending where your at, this is SW ND. Birds are pulling through, they are bunched up (as always this time of year) and out in the fields scratching. There is all kinds of food in the wind blown spots in the stubble fields. Watched a herd of 100+ deer come into a 25ac corn stubble field. They are all looking fat and happy, other then a little cold. All these people saying "Better shoot them while we can, because after this winter their isn't going to be anything left" are a little out in left field in my opinion. It's not like these deer were imported from Florida and have no idea what winter weather is. Yes, some deer and pheasants are going to die, that is the workings of mother nature. But not every pheasant and deer in the state of ND is going to stiffen up, starve and freeze to death. I would highly bet that the dead deer that people are seeing now are the causalities of "marginal shot placement" from rifle deer season and the weather helped put them out of commission . I ran across one the other night running across the road, only thing I had in the truck was my pistol. Tried to put her out of her misery, but couldn't comfortably reach out that far, especially in the headlights.</blockquote>
