They caught some on Bear and some on Benson as well. Took me a minute to realize why I was being bombarded

The migration is being driven by a different force this year, not snow but Ice. With the deep freeze, water sources are freezing solid. It was cold enough that while hiking, my damn water bottle froze in my pack. Deer are really going to start getting slammed on the hiway. Neophytes will be (oh the deer are starving that's why they are crossing the road) Well, no, they are thirsty and heading for the river as many of the springs and feeder streams etc, are froze solid. Strong running water is their only source Until we get some snow on the ground and the freeze lets up.
