Funny, I saw Deer Today. Could It Be The Cold?

[Lawdwaz]

On the way to and from work today I saw more deer than I have in 7 months of my commute, especially the afternoon drive home.

 

Do you think it was the cold temps, getting them up and moving? I mean heck, it was 12 degrees and a slight breeze.  They were probably getting hungry and cold so needed to get up and move then grab some fuel for their furnace??

 

Nahhhh................

I saw quite a few urban deer at 11 the next morning after this snow Panic mode on their part I think

I've seen a few groups of seven or more around my neighborhood, and they're hunted hard around here (Clarence)

saw a over a dozen out in a couple fields mid day over the weekend.  others getting trail camera pictures of them flocking in fields around mid-morning.

 

plenty cold out right now that's for sure.

When shooting the other day near one of my hunting spots, lots of tracks visible. I'd imagine there doing well with this lack of snow cover in 7s area.

 I have started to see them coming into a big cut soybean field in the afternoon. Last night I saw a few under in a small clump of apple trees that are part of a hedgerow on the property I hunt. The last time I walked by those trees there were still plenty of apples under them.

Mid-day tracks across the backyard yesterday in 4L.

Someone told them hunting season was over in the area!  

Cold or hot weather has nothing to do with movement, lol.  Yea right!

A very nice buck (looked like an 8pt) walked across the back field of my office on Transit Rd (Clarence side) in northern Erie County.  It's just a great thing to see a buck this time of year, really a wonderful sight IMO.

 

He stopped once and glanced the 120 yards towards the office, just standing there; knowing we were all good.  I'd dare he say he winked at me.

Saw deer in four different fields today, mid day 40 and sunny. Two doe feeding in woods as I hung a camera , tons of tracks as well.

Got about 30 deer pics off the one camera I hung the last week end of gun.
