up north in the winter the deer "yard-up" every year they go to the same place .so after a while food runs out ..they will not leave the yard to search for food ,last year we lost a lot of deer because of the great amount of snow ..

Thats awesome Blackpowder. 2 weeks back I saw 68 deer whilst walking the bush in Southern Ontario. The pictures are brilliant. The snow was more than 3 feet deep in places. I was using snow shoes, but the deer had walked a hard path about a foot deep which they were using as a highway to get to their food. Didnt find a single deer carcase this year. Found a cow carcase that the Coyotes had eaten, but the deer seem to have had a decent enough winter. We too have been supplementing with apples, corn, potatoes etc. But mostly they seem to be eating what they typically eat. Cedar is toast though. I am glad that we have had a good melt. I think that this might be a record year for us this year. Some are saying we have already had 300 inches????
