It's not an old wives tale...They still migrate out of the high country when the snow pushes them...Not that many deer nowadays in many of the D-zones, BUT there was a time, not too many years ago that you could go from seeing 0- to maybe a half dozen a day before a storm to seeing 50-100 if the right kind of weather system moved in...The area I generally still hunt in D-4 has migration trails you can still follow even though the herd is not a fraction of what it once was & hasn't been for about fifteen or twenty years now...first came a kill off due to Black or Blue Tongue disease along with an explosion in the mountain lion population...now I'll feel lucky if I see a dozen deer this year...didn't even see a doe last year while hunting.
