Yarding deer

I always think of Ely or the north country when I think of deer "yarding up" in the winter.  They even have signs up there on the roads warning about deer yards.  But this winter was deep snow here and I'd dare say our deer have yarded up. 

I got a tip about a highly populated area.  So the whole family went for a drive the other night right before dark.  And we saw DEER!  Lots of deer.

I'm not sure how many we saw that night, but I'd guess around 100+.  We also saw a big flock of bearded turkeys!  They were so keen and ran off before I could snap a nice photograph.
