growalot Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Your right about that, last year in March I was seeing skin and bones...actually I was seeing skinny deer right through July...So this year is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Mild winter so far. Around here we just got that one blast of snow, a couple weeks ago, and the snow is almost completely gone already. The deer I have been seeing look great.

fasteddie Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 The deer I have been getting on the Trail Cams look quite healthy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 They look to be in great shape here too. So, hopefully, the does will have more fawns and the bucks will put on more bone. Being that they won't have to build up as much body weight as the last couple of years. This late into winter, even if we get a couple bad storms, they should go into spring in good shape.

I dont believe they even " Yarded " up this year as we have then in groups of 2-5 on all ends of the property. Most winters they are deep on Drum for 4 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfalfa bales are in place. 4 acre chunk of corn still standing and Tree tops left in the woods from our fall cutting. But it seems they prefer the leftover beans in the fields as of late. They know they can get to corn anytime and now with no snow is the time to gobble up on the Soybean. I believe anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looks like were going to have healthier and bigger deer this season. The combination of a light winter and the number of acorns in the woods should really add up. Im sure there is still plenty of acorns out there to help put on fat and supply them with much needed carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If the deer keep it up they might be the size of cows by Bow Season . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
