Amazing how strong and smart they can be. In my area I drive along a creek bottom with flowing water and almost every day i see 1/2 dozen down there eating whatever along the banks standing in the water. They walk a long way through the water until they climb through the snow. Now their runs are really wide open.
Went to a favorite hunting spot and was following a well plowed run and the deer used a plowed dirt road for at least 100 yards to get from one field to another.
With these warmer days I don't think we will see any winter kill. Lord knows in PA we can't spare a single deer. Watch out if we get 2 weeks of single digit weather. That would be a problem.
