Love studies like this, and this one is amazing in its breadth.
But the results show what I harp on all the time. After seeing hundreds of GPS collar studies (and participating in a few myself), I never cease to be amazed at how much of an individual each deer is. Giving "averages" for deer travels is dangerous, because almost no individuals actually performs the "average." Each deer is unique and does its own thing. Some are homebodies and some wanderers. I've seen an individual buck not leave 60 acres in a year and I've seen an individual buck that covered 14,000 acres in a year. Some spend all the seasons and the rut in one area, and some have different ranges for each season and a separate, unique range for the rut.
