An there was about 8 inches of good trackin snow too. But I be too ole to go trackin through the snow after an elk. One of the doe mulies was a tremendous sized deer I'd say close to 200 lbs. Went by me at about levin feet. Din't even know I was there. Goin home last night deer were everywhere...feeding out in the fields. Saw at least 200 in one field not far from home. Game and fish guy came out to talk to me about the landowner deer tags..I have about 30 whitetails staying within a couple hundred yards from home. I knew there were 15 or so..I see 'em in the garden all the time. One is a nice 10 pointer(Eastern count) who kinda rules the roost. They are now pawing up the cabbage roots out of the little snow we have. I left some taters in the ground for 'em and I think they've dug 'em all up..or at least most...and they are workin on the leftover beets. Didn't even know they ate them. Next year I'm growin some turnips cause I know deer like them...at least they did in Maryland
