Early snow natural browse

Unread postby Wildland Outsider » Tue Nov 27, 2018 4:21 am

With this snowfall from yesterday-this morning what kinds of natural browse do you think the deer will be adjusting towards? The crop fields where I hunt have been picked for about a month now and I’m assuming the deer will be hitting some natural browse. I have a spot where oaks, a maple swamp with some 6-8” shoots, and a natural opening with green browse all meet together with some buckthorn kinda seperating them. I’m going to hunt it tonight and update this with my findings.

Been wondering that myself. One field I hunt near was just cut last week, but another I hit for the first time on Saturday looks like it had been down for weeks and was picked over like you said. We were anticipating a huge snow dump that didn't materialize, but it would have made your question very timely indeed.

I wasn’t able to get the exact information I needed. I got into the woods late and wasn’t able to get back as far as I needed to. From what I saw, they are still back in the transitions I mentioned earlier. These transitions are either surrounded by swamp or part of the swamp. I think they will remain there until the ice gets thick enough to travel. But for now they have everything they need without having to travel.
