ghillie, i am assuming you are hunting merriams i hunt them in mt. and wy. and have heard of them going 20-25 miles from where they wintered i think once they find good habitat and are not pressured they stay within a 1 mile area and even less they seem to work in large circles using ridge tops to move while feeding however once pressured they may leave that area completely i have put on many miles hunting merriams and love every minute
