From what I've heard.....they stay fairly close until the rut. During the rut....a buck MIGHT travel several miles. I think does range fairly close to their bedding areas.

Isaw a TV show, out west, that showed a group of deer traveling 2 miles to a particular alphalpha field at night to feed. They were getting back "home" pretty late in the AM.....and were REAL easy to pattern.

I've also heard of deer traveling 2 miles to a mineral site. I'm not sure how prevailant that is, either......but it's interesting.
