Here is a summary of the snow level conditions that will have an effect on the deer herd in the Lake Of The Wood's / Rainy / Kenoraarea this pasty winter.

WINTER WEATHER & THE DEER HERD
We have had a more than average amount of snow fall this year.The larger amounts of snow that has fallen were in the month of Febuary and average amounts were seen earlier in the winter. From experience I expect this snow to melt fast with the on-coming warmer temps and the fact that the heavier snow falls occurred late in the winter months puts less stress time on our white-tail herd.There is not alot of winter left and the herd willbe strong.
Have been seeing good numbers of deer foraging. Healthy looking deer for sure.
A large amount of snow fall is what can effect the deer herd. Wolves with their broad paws can run the deep snow quite well and the deeper snow can also make it hard for the deer to get at their food.
The MNRhave issued a local press release encouraging local people not to feed the deer and that the herd is quite healthy. There will not be a major negative effect from the winter months on thewhite-tail herdthis year.
