[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5022392, member: 17"] I do believe that seasonal range-shifting is somewhat genetically built into whitetail behavior for some biological reason. However I also see the most extreme cases of seasonal range-shifting where there is more diversity of habitat in big chunks. For example, a landowner owns a couple hundred acres of timber. However, 1/2 a mile away is pastureland and agriculture. Most of the deer are near those open-sunlight food sources in summer, leaving the couple hundred acres of timber nearly devoid of deer. Yet once acorns begin to fall and summer crops are harvested the timber property can become flooded with deer as they seasonally shift in. This can cause dramatic differences in deer density from one season to the next within the same calendar year. [/QUOTE]
