[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5050660, member: 2871"] Okay, I'm a yankee born and bred. I moved here to sunny Tenasi over 20 years ago, but I had already put in about 40 years of hunting in the snowy north. Deer won't change their pattern much for a little snow. But when it gets chest deep on them they are likely to stay undercover in the thickets and swamps. A foot or a foot and half of snow is just "a little snow". Two feet of it is "some snow". Get three feet or more and then you can talk about real snow. In the Adirondack Mountains of New York I have seen snow drifts so high/deep that they covered the utility lines. Up there the deer go in to "yards" for the winter. This usually is a hemlock swamp. They wander the frozen swamp, half starve eating what tree buds they can reach, and make deep, packed down trails so the snow on the sides of their trails is sometimes higher than their heads. I lived there in upstate New York and also in Michigan. I was out there, on snowshoes, when it was 20*F below zero! I had enough! That's why I moved to Tenasi when I retired. [/QUOTE]
