Actually, I spoke with my old man yesterday, and what you are saying about the deer doing quitewell seems to be true. From everything he said, the deer in our area are doing great. Thanks to the food plots, corn fields, and tall pines to slightly defend them against the severe winter, they are still quite abundant. With time, and removal of some of the predator threat, they'll bounce back like animals in the wild often do. We'll get some extra food planted out there so they can pack on the meat, so they can burn it off once the hunters hit the woods again. It was a scary winter though. My mom sent me a picture and the snow is over the roof on the north side of her home. I'm also sure the farther north you go, the worse it gets. My mom lives around Millinocket, and snow is still piled high, though melting slowly.

I wonder what problems will follow up north with so much snow melting all at once. It could have some rough consequences.
