Where do the deer that love to rampage through your garden go during the winter when all their food is covered by snow, given that you live on an island?

They continue to wander the same territory, in the woods and through yards, eating ... whatever deer eat in the winter. Bark? Spruce needles? Grass blown bare by the wind... seaweed on the beach... If we got a lot of snow, like the 2015-16 Winter From Hell when there was about 9 feet by the end of the season (total, not all on the ground at once!!), some would die. But a lot of winters, there are thaws between snowfalls and the ground might be bare much of the winter in many places. It was here, mostly, till the big dump last week. I had 4 in the yard the other night.
