Went up to camp in 3A Friday afernoon, to do some work and help my cousincut upthe logs he skidded in around camp over the winter, intofirewood. Cut about a cord and half to bring home this summer for next winter's heat and cut over 3/4s of next winter's camp stovewood.

Took about an hour's trudge yesterday. Far less over winter browsing than was common6 to8 years ago, about the same as thepast few springs. Found lots of pellets in the browsing areas (mostly cherry, sugar maple and apple browsein theareas I looked most closelyat). It's a series of gullies running downhillbetween two hayfields and woods above the gullies. Has alway seen lots of "use" during the winters.

Saw no deer while out, but they've beenrunning the tractor andATV trails all winter. Doubt they had much winter mortality in them parts. What deer I did see in the area whileup, looked fine for mid-March.
