[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5660471, member: 1409"] Even then, it will usually be a minority of the bucks photo censused on the property. This is in part the case because many of the bucks will have the core of their ranges more around the perimeter of the property as opposed to all of them being in the center. Take a big river bottom area or a big ridge area that's about 4.7 miles long (north to south) x 1 mile wide (east to west). That will be about 3,000 acres. Most of the bucks (especially during the rut) will range either side of that 1 mile width, sometimes going over a mile beyond. Many will seasonally "range shift" complete off that particular 3,000 acres. While 4.7 miles seems a long river bottom or a long ridge line, to a buck cored in the middle, he only has to rut-range a little over 2 miles either direction up & down the bottom/ridgeline to be outside the area. Yet regardless where he is up & down that 4.7 miles, [B][U]he would never have to travel any more than 0.5 mile to be completely off that 3,000 acre tract[/U][/B]. [/QUOTE]
