Was up there early this week after the big snowstorms and didn't see a lot of sign that the migration had started. A few tracks at night but nothing crazy. Only seen 3 in 2 days but unfortunately out of bow range. I'm thinking the daytime temps are still to warm for them to yard up.

Any deer shot during the 2 week rifle season will be summer range deer. It takes a sustained period (i.e. 2 weeks) of >30-40 cm of snow depth to trigger yarding behavior. Can't remember the last time we saw a foot or more of snow for the whole 2 weeks.

How exactly does one more a deer yard? Is it like relocating a deer crossing by moving the road sign?

The largest yard is in Loring as Guy said, but while the deer numbers were high there are countless smaller "yards" scattered across the broader area where groups of 5-10 deer were spending the entire winter in the nearest hemlock/fir/cedar swamp.

Move the feed, move the deer.

I grew up in Loring and if you want to see deer in the winter time travel the sideroads around Golden Valley, Arnstein and Loring.

I was under the impression that no supplemental feeding was happening...unless it's done by the local residents and clubs? The Loring yard covers a pretty extensive area (few hundred km's square) and from my understanding not something that can simply be "moved" around. The deer head there due to the protection given by the hemlock trees.

Most years by the end of the second week, there seems to be more deer in our area, of the yard . whether it is from hunter pressure making them move , or just natures way.. We have been doing some , cutting of bush on our property over the last few years. It is giving the deer and moose , winter feed and summer brouse. Some planting of clovers will also encourage some of the deer to stay in the spring. I agree that we are not getting the heavy , early snows we used to. old243
