[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4302745, member: 1409"] Actually . . . . . [i]"Since taking the deer, Andy has met three people who have trail camera pictures --- and several were snapped [b][u][color=#0000BF]miles[/color][/u][/b] from the kill site."[/i] It's not just an issue of "several square miles" but also one of bucks typically traveling several [u]linear[/u] miles in one direction. IMO, the majority of deer hunters greatly underestimate the range of bucks, especially during the rut. Think about it: 3 miles x 3 miles = 9 square miles = 5,760 acres 4 miles x 4 miles = 16 square miles = 10,240 acres In most circumstances there is no such thing as [i]"we've got a buck over on our place that . . . . . "[/i] "My" buck becomes "your" buck, and this is part of why the North America wildlife model considers the wildlife to belong to the "people" rather than an individual landowner. A few years ago (and someone on here can post the exact details) someone posted about a buck seen with a bunch of survey ribbon tangled in his antlers (I believe this may have been in Fayette County, TN). The buck's pic was obtained on a trail cam, and within something like 24 hours, it was killed about 11 miles away. [/QUOTE]
