hard winter so far

That’s a healthy looking big body deer for this weather we have been having.

I am looking at 4 deer in my yard right now and they are all healthy

Great pix of a healthy animal, As long as we get the odd mild spell and not too deep snow cover the deer should pull through well, not so much for the turkeys , the area I hunt has deep snow now and with these -25+ temps they can't get around as well for nourishment .. Expect to find more than a few feather piles under the roost trees this spring..coyotes will be happy ..

My deer went into winter well, check out the fat on my doe , she looks like a cattle beast going to market...

This coyote has to be feeling the cold! Mother nature can sure be cruel!

Nasty yote. Mange got his days numbered.

Driving your sled through the bush during a mild spell really helps the deer get around. The track pack will freeze allowing the deer to walk on it with ease.

Just after I left for work today, a doe was about to jump in front of me. She seemed to have the smarts to go away from me. Usually they are as dumb as a stump in these parts. She had a nice weight and looked very healthy.

Too bad for that mangie yote.
