The Whitetail Deer sightings have been fantastic since winter let loose it's grip on Eastern Maine. Not that it had much of a grip to begin with. I didn't measure each storm but, if it added up to 2 feet the entire winter, I'd be surprised. The storms were spread out enough that it never accumulated to 2 feet. Each storm pretty much melted away prior to the next one. Most of the winter we were enjoying bare ground. The deer herd too, enjoyed it as well. I've seen many more deer than usual this spring and they all look healthy and well fed. I'd be happy to get 3 winters in a row just like this one.
