“In PA the deeper in color and thickness of deer skins indicates how cold and bad the coming winter will be. This year their coats were darker and thicker.”
There are a lot of deer around here and often visit the bird feeder outside the window. Their coats are exceptionally dark this winter and it’s been well below normal temps here in the mountains of NC.
Yep....I heard this some time ago and began paying attention. My son has deer crossing his yard while we’re on the deck...often 6 or more. It was noted here how dark their fur was this year as well.
Nature reveals so much if just take the time to observe.
