update

We have made 4.5" of ice around our Island since the 1st. Even the Narrows has froze as of the 5th. this should make the deer crossing safer.To answer your question Peter in this case 1 deer managed to get out but the other did not,this is the 2nd deer I have seen die trying to cross at the narrows.The 2 eagles and about 20 ravens were at the site all day yesterday.Barepoint Marina still has not froze as of last night (toooo windy) Ice conditions this year are going to be different than years past. The lake froze at different times with some parts still open And the level is very high,so with the normal outflow there will be strong currents making for hazardous conditions,Please check the ice before venturing off your normal routes.
