Default RE: here's a question

well I work in louisiana with the wile life and fisheries. our biologist said that when the doe runs off the yearling she is going in heat and he will probably return to his birth place that year. however when the rut is over he will join a bachelor group and follow them untill the next rut then the dominate bucks will run him off as well. there again back to his birth place. now once he becomes one on the dominate bucks in a group he will go to the best breeding area ( where the largest consentration of does are. may be at his birth place, may be 20 miles from there. they usually stay within 7-10 miles but we had a tagged deer make it 78miles before shot 3 years later. this is unusual but I guess nature is unpredictable.
