I live in Upstate New York, my area gets on an average of 220 inches of snow or more a year, and well below Single-Digit Temps, I don't know how on earth Turkey and Deer or any animal can survive these conditions but I have seen an increase of Deer and Turkey across New York, actually I've had a flock of turkeys 20 or so give or take, feeding in my back yard, I haven't feed them this year or any year and don't plan to do so because of the possible risk of spreading diseases. I hope that they can find food to survive for us hunters to enjoy future years of hunting
