What do you mean............ miles apart? More than 5-10 miles?
Why? Up here in the extreme north this summer range and winter range happens because of extreme weather conditions. Why do they do it down there?
I never said "miles" apart. Those were your words.
I have access (in my hunting area) to NO ag. crops. I have access to NO bedding areas. Down here....in ths South....they eat ag. crops in the summer and mast crops in the winter. Since I don't have access to where they're eating ag. crops....I RARELY see a buck (much less a mature buck....which is even more rare) until all the ag crops have been harvested.
Where they're hanging out in the summer and on up into Oct, here.....is different from where they're hanging out in the later deer season months. This is fact.
Darn right those were my words, that's what I'm asking.... miles, feet, inches..... how far?
Do you only have one spot? Or for example is it like you have a 40 acre spot of all woods and they feed and bed outside of your spot?
In northern Wis. they yard up and can travel miles to do so. Just wondering what exactly you are talking about summering and wintering in different locations in a southerly state where the weather is much milder than up here.
