Yes I started to think that this wasn't also true because I wondered how people could get pictures of the same deer 5 years in a row. Last night I was doing some scouting on the land that I hunt on and there were still some deer tracks around. So my guess is there are sil deer in the area, but normally I think they do leave and go a few miles down the road to take cover in this area with alot of marshes and hills to take cover from storms. I put out the camera last night also while scouting so that will probably give me the answer as to what is hanging around yet during the winter.
