Oak Ridge Whitetail Adventure

Winter has turned the hunting preserve into a winter wonderland. We had about two feet of snow this past week and then just to keep us interested Mother Nature gave us freezing rain yesterday followed by another 4-5″ of snow. The snow has settled considerably but I would guess there is still around 20″+ on the ground. Going around the paths has become an adventure in itself but the scenery is beautiful with the snow covered trees. I’m sorry to report that it has been so overcast that I have not been able to capture any of this on film. The deer were sitting pretty tight for the first few days this week but seem to have adjusted to the snow depth and are back to their winter routines. All of the trophy bucks still have there antlers as best I can tell so far but I’m sure that some will start shedding them soon. Last year we still had some bucks with antlers into March so they would have another couple months if it happens the same this year.
