I suspect food for them will be quite hard to find with all the snow
you've had.  Older anmals will die off and there won't be as many young
born.  NY has the tie up law because dogs can get thru snow easier than
deer; the deer's hooves tend to break thru and dog's paws let them run
along the top. I know my brother hunts just about every fall but his
rate of success is quite low. (G)
