Wow, what a stud. Rest assured that he will likely range shift sometime before the end of October. Best of luck with him.
That's not necessarily true. The majority of bucks I have photographed reappear at some point in the fall but also generally keep their summer range altogether. It's just that their range gets much larger and yes, sometimes they do void themselves of an area entirely. This most commonly happens in ag areas and rarely have I ever not been able to relocate a buck in big woods. IMO, many disappearing deer simply changed their core area (not entire range) and therefore became more difficult to photograph due to fewer appearances in an area
