I am going to try and understand my new property a bit better before I make any habitat improvements. I know that deer movements may change with the time of year due to food, weather and etc. Over the winter I am going to take some regular walks and document new tracks in the snow. What do these tracks tend to tell you? This may just have an obvious answer but I'm going to ask anyways.
I went for a walk today. It snowed Friday night. There are tracks everywhere but I'm not exactly sure what they may mean (if anything other than simply deer moved from point A to point B). One thing I can say about these tracks is they kept moving and did not bed down anywhere. I have very little food source so they were just moving through. This is only 36 hours worth of movement but that's what I saw.
In the spring I will get some cameras out in the hotspots I see with winter tracks and see what pics I get.
