[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5633289, member: 17"] I could give you an average number, but that number would be fairly meaningless, because each buck is an individual. Some are home bodies. Some are vast wanderers. I've seen bucks with annual ranges of under 400 acres and others as large as 18,000 acres. I once saw telemetry data for a 5 1/2 year-old buck in Louisiana that never left a 60-acre clearcut in an entire year. Other bucks travel vast distances. The really interesting telemetry data is the stuff showing bucks that have a completely different "rut range" from their normal range. At the beginning of the rut, they pick up and leave their normal range, sometimes travelling a couple of miles away and establishing a temporary "rut range." After 6 weeks, back they go to their normal range. [/QUOTE]
