Alot of these younger bucks take to new areas the following year I believe.
I agree that a lot of these little guys have ever expanding home ranges.....but it would make sense if they were replaced with other deer of the same age structure,........wouldn't it?
If this is the case (they disperse and have larger ranges than their older counterparts).....doesn't it make passing on them futile? I mean....I have no desire to kill these juveniles.....but I can see where people might take a different approach if they thought they were going to disperse from their properties, anyways.
Interesting.....ya gotta admit.....to not even see ONE of them.
The bull was there until you shot him, therefore he pushed most of them out of the area with his dominance, and made them go nocturnal. Now that the bull is gone I would imagine one of them will step up to take his role of dominance.
I wouldnt think that one dominant buck would push several subordinate bucks all the way out of the area?
