Title: Spokane area deer population and new snow???
Post by: TeacherMan on December 19, 2008, 10:24:17 AM: I'm heading down to Spokane today and I will be there the next two weeks (winter break!!!) and I was planning on getting out and getting some good pics of deer. Anyone seeing them? I know this much snow can be a bad thing for forage. What are your thoughts?

Please be thoughful about spooking any deer when tyhe snow is this deep...it's a huge caloric expense for them to have to flee.
