One month down, two months to go in the 2026 Northern Maine Wintering Deer Survey. Keep those deer observations coming!

These sub-freezing temperatures and all that deep snow out there is why Maine's white-tailed deer seek out specific habitat in winter. Natural wintering areas consist of mature softwoods with dense canopy cover to protect them from the elements and limit snow depth.

To support Maine's northern deer population through habitat protection and enhancement, we need observations of wintering deer from community scientists like you.

To participate, head over to mefishwildlife.com/winteringdeer to report the location, date, time, and number of deer you see in natural wintering areas within the northern Maine study area. Thank you Maine community scientists!

Do you have a sawmill or know someone who does?

An ermine weasel visited our kitchen this winter. It cleared out the little mice that ate my houseplants and went on his merry way.
