During the last ‘bad’ winter for whitetails, 1969, much of the northern mountain range was snow-covered before Thanks- giving, and deaths continued to accumulate up until April.

Going into this winter, the physical condition of the ani- mals has been good. Whitetails have been full-bodied, with ex- cess fat in a number of in- stances, which will help them withstand the rigors of winter. Animal studies have shown that deer can go without any food for weeks and still survive. Any delay in the arrival of deep snow increases the chances for the herd to pull through severe weather conditions. Of course, there is still plenty of time for extremely cold temperatures, high winds and deep snows, which ‘would re- strict the movement of white- tails and increase the likelihood of winter losses. Should these conditions develop, the shortage of food for the large herd could cut heavily into the Whitetail population.
