[QUOTE="Dumbluck, post: 5498795, member: 22434"] Deck I believe they are holding in pockets. If you can find them they are not moving far. The rut range buck I was looking for actually shifted earlier this year than usual but unlike previous seasons he stayed put and focused on a couple of groups of does. He was also so far down in weight I had a hard time identifying him to 100% until after he was on the ground. He was smaller body wise compared to last year. He had white on his front legs that I could always 100% identified him in person. I have watched other bucks hold similar patterns where they are rutting in very small acreage compared to normal years. I'd be willing to bet that if BSK actually had bucks with GPS collars the data would come back a shift in location followed by small acreage searching and some bucks essentially staying home and doing small localized searches. In other words I don't think the deer are traveling great distances at all for most of them. Their body weights are too down and they don't have the energy. These are my observations at least. I'll send you a PM, we know each other I just have a different screen name. Call me sometime to discuss if you want. [/QUOTE]
