Nothing particular Va.. I just don't believe in alot of the hub-bub I read or hear about bucks staging.

They stage.. yes. But just not the way I read it.. in my opinion.

I could go on for hours on my theories of mature deer staging.. and little of it has to do with a buck staging in an acorn flat 300+ yards from where the buck was bedded on the edge of an AG field just before dark. I don't think so.

They stage in much tighter.. only going 10.. 20... 50 yrds. max from their day time haunts (relative to the time of year). Many times only 5-10 yards from where they got up just before dark.

I think alot of hunters misunderstand the subtle differences between a staging area of a buck and a destination food source.
