Default RE: Deer in Back Yard (NH) seem to be OK...

We have about 3 to 3.5 feet of snow on the ground here in Sunapee. I was out snowshoeing last week and saw several deer tracks. It seems that they're doing ok for now, but it is definately early! Two years ago we got SLAMMED with snow that lasted through most of April. I remember going snowshoeing April 1 or 2, and measuring the snow depth at about 5 feet. The deer were eating bark 6 to 8 feet above the ground as they stood on thier deer runs. The deer took a real beating that year...and we are still recovering now. I just hope that the deep snow doesn't extend into April as that seems to be when the deer suffer the most.
