Hey Chicken Littles........I think you are overreacting a little. At least as far as the deer go. Do you remember about 6-7 years ago.....we had a lot more snow that winter and very early. The deer did fine. As they will this winter.

Generally the young bucks shed early. I get pics every year this early and earlier of young bucks that have shed.....I just have never found any this soon.

So sit back, relax.....and maybe next year the Buck Growl will work again.
