The lack of snow and warm temperatures are giving deer easier access to food. But Robizant says the recovery will still likely take a few years.
Deer aren’t the only species benefiting from weather.
“Every once in awhile we get mice, but we’ve never seen them like this year,” said David Lane of Poulin’s Pest Control.
The lack of snow has sent mice indoors in search of warmth, and Poulin’s has seen a uptick in business.
“Rodents at this time of year don’t have that insulation to keep them warm with that snow pack and are just having to move in looking for new places to live,” Lane said.
