Minnesota: White Christmas hits game hard | sctimes.com | St. Cloud Times

The deeper the snow, the harder deer and birds have to work to find food and cover. As the energy supply gets burned, the physical condition of most wild animals diminishes. That’s when winter mortality begins.

“I say it every year — you can’t have a tough winter unless it starts early and we’ve had a tough December,” Rusch said. “That doesn’t mean winter conditions can’t improve, but it seems like the snow continues to pile up every week.”

DNR wildlife managers are reporting seeing bunches of deer using trails cut deep into the snow that’s already piled up.

Rusch pointed out that fawns start dragging their bellies on the snow once it reaches 15 inches deep. Their inability to get around in deep snow also makes them most vulnerable to predators.

“They can still get around, but they’re at that point when they start becoming easy for predators to get to,” he said. “Right now their furnace is full, but if we keep getting snow, we’ll likely see some mortality.”
