The recent polar vortex that settled over the region brought very harsh conditions for whitetails and other wildlife. In this video, Grant explains how deer survive during this critical stress period for whitetails: piloerection, high energy food sources, cover and more!
Deer generate heat from inside their body, and then, they stick their hair out, so they can trap that heat, or that hot air. It’s like you and I adding another layer on. But if they don’t have a good diet, they’re not generating heat. Doesn’t matter how many coats you have on, if you’re not generating any heat to hold that in.
It's important they have enough forage, even in a bad winter. The energy they have access to now, or the food they have access to, is a huge factor in determining how many fawns they will produce next year, even though they’re pregnant now. Will they abort, or hold those fawns, and will they be healthy? Will the mother’s make plenty of milk? And likewise, will those bucks have plenty of resources to maximize their potential of antler growth next year? It’s all about reducing stress, and a major way to do that is making sure they got plenty of food sources during the stress periods.
