The camp was stiring at 4 oclock, breakfast was over & I was well out in the woods at 6, though not light enough to see tracks. Found Porcupine gnawings & waded around in the deep snow. Saw 2 Deer & lots of tracks. They come into choppings & roads to feed & keep out of deep snow. Saw Porcupine & Lynx & Skunk & Woodchuck tracks but could not follow any of them. Shot a Pileated Woodpecker & saw several.
