Editor's Note: Craig and Neil Dougherty take hundereds of thousands of trail camera photos on their properties in upstate New York each year. All fall they will be submitting their most recent photos, as well as photos from their contacts across the country, to Outdoor Life to help predict deer activity. The cameras documented a major return of deer to food sources last week. At this time most of the does have been bred. Without buck pressure doe groups like this one have reformed and are packing on the pounds as the temperatures drop. Food sources like this clover field still offer enough nutrition to help deer build fat reserves for the upcoming winter.
