Deer Could Have Trouble Surviving The Winter

There could be fewer deer making it through the winter in northwestern Ontario this year.
Wildlife officials say deep snow, hard crusts and frigid temperatures are playing a factor.
Senior wildlife biologist with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters Mark Ryckman says high mortality is expected.
Ryckman says still there’s no need for any human intervention.
He does encourage people to help deer by packing down trails in areas frequented by the animals, and by cutting preferred food sources for easier access.
