Anyone seen the winter severity index thing they used to have everywhere? Did you hear the dnr annouce deer feeding to save the heard? Me neither. Do we still pay a buck or two in our deer license to feed deer?

Good thing it started off mild. One of the neighbor guys was up north the past couple days and he drove past a wintering area and saw a bunch of deer. He said they looked to be in really good shape. Just may not be a total wipeout after all. Still lots of winter to go though. I will likely put up a trail camera in the yard along the woods to see if I have any deer come spring. I'm prepared for zero, hoping for some, and will be tickled to see a fawn. If we get a late spring and have snow cover while it's 60 degrees out, I may sneak in another day or two of shit dropping with the chainsaw.

Can’t be good I think we need to fire our rain dance consultant, he's obviously drinking again and has mixed up winter for summer. Just wait, this summer we will be bone dry. How is the feeding going? Are you or anybody you know feeding, what is working for feed now? I have always herd you should not feed unless you do it all year because its hard for the deer to adjust.

I heard one rooster before this last snow and wonder how many will be left. A farmer near Litchfield found a dead rooster all frozen up with ice by some of his outside machinery. I am in a pocket with less snow than Ottertail County. It has to be tough up there.

Feeding round bales of hay and grass mix. Throw some corn on ground too occasionally. Going through 600 bale every few weeks. Probably feeding approx 20 deer. Some areas are feeding and some are not just depends on situation. Drove by a field the other night must of had 300 deer it was impressive. Just south of babe’s land that is for sale.

Thanks for correction. I was figuring you had 20 super fat deer.
