I apologize for my ignorance, but what does 'staging' mean?
It's refering to a whitetail "hanging back" so to speak.. browsing.. rubbing.. making scrapes.. all before entering more open terrain.. (i.e. an agricultural field.)
Ahhh, I see. I've actually never heard that term before. I have to agree with you though Duke (now that I understand the term) that maturedeer would not stage in acorn lot. Our property is littered with White Oak flats and while they often serve as bedding and rearing areas for does, they are only frequented by bucks when they are feeding.
Me neither! I learned something today or I should say tonight!
