I know, I had to write that about 3 times before I thought it sorta sounded right.

They said that you couldn’t push a buck out of his core area, no matter how much you pressured him right?

Well, my question is when a buck is still determining his core area, how does pressure affect where he calls home? You’ve got woodlot “A” with all the needs for a deer & woodlot “B” with the same amenities. Woodlot “A” gets 6x the human intrusion than “B” does. I really doubt the buck is going to pick woodlot “A” to call his core home.

It seemed like that study (and I say this only going off the thread info) had a buck, safe in his already defined core area, then they tried to pressure him out. I just wanted to know if they had any mention of pressure determining where a buck chose to live in the first place.
