I saw 3 small herds with 5 miles of home at sunset. There were 4 to 8 in each herd in nearby fields. Never saw that many out that close to home at once.

They may know something we don't or their food might have been iced up.
How bad was the ice storm up your way? It was plumb ugly here in Hot Springs Village. Lots of trees and limbs down, our power was out part of Tuesday and all last night until about noon today.Quote:

Deer were on the move tonight in search of food.
When I got home tonight there were three does out back by the (empty) feeder. They moved off about 20 yards into the trees and waited while I refilled the feeder, then came back and had supper after I went in.
Its ts gotta be tough being a deer in this kind of weather.
I've had a crew working nights the last couple of weeks and I've seen "herds" of deer on the roadside several nights on the way home. They've been pretty active at night in this cold weather.
It's tough being a person in this kind of weather.Quote:

I have been baffeled as to why I haven't seen deer as normal around my house. But, Mrs DP told me she saw two groups of 5 on the road we live on. Then to my surprise, we have seen all kinds of tracks in the snow around both of my boats. It looks like they are bedding around them to sheild from the ice and snow. I am glad somebody is getting some use of of the boats.

That's why they need shooting. They're probably stealing your fishing gear or at least running out your gas while you are asleep.Quote:
