Can anybody confirm the snowfall from this past winter in the Northern area. I have heard that the deer took a beating, any reports of this?

I live in Northeastern Alberta about 60 km from the border and we had a very mild winter, not particularly heavy snow, deer look pretty good. South of us Edmonton east to Lloydminster got quite a bit more snow, But I haven't heard any bad news at all.

..........the deer definitley did not take a beating. It was a very mild winter.

Our winter wasnt bad until March. Then we got a shit load of snow, it stormed for the whole month. There was snow up over your ass in the bush.Deer, moose and elk did not do well in these conditions.We were lucky it was close to spring. Runoff and flooding has made travel in the n.e. forest zones almost impossable.

Thanks for the replies, I had heard that the Porcupine mountain range took a beating from Sask. to Manitoba.

If you want weather info go to http://www.wunderground.com and after typing in the city go to the history and almanac section where you can look up previous weather by day,week, month or year I use it to see the weather from several years back for hunting and fishing trips .

Bigbull, they are still taken a beating. They are getting tons of rain. Farming in the area is about 75 to 80 percent write off not going to be seeded, from what i hear. Oh yeah the mountain range? is just forested rolling hills just so you know if your going there.
