It's not worth risking frostbite and hypothermia for a few extra minutes of fishing. As you can see, winter doesn't have to be spent in front of the television set. While many birds and some animals leave Utah in the winter, many more stay. For those that do, winter can be a trying time. By following a few tips, we can all make the winter a little easier for these critters.
Many dogs like to chase and harass deer.
Being chased by dogs forces deer to expend more energy than they typically would, during a time of year when they need to conserve energy. For deer winter means less food, deep snow and less habitat wherein food can be found. The last thing they need in the winter is harassment from domestic animals. If your animals are inside your home and you have a fence, please leave the fence gate open. That way deer and other critters that find their way into your yard can escape.
