Since employing that tactic, my doe sightings, AND my buck sightings, have increased dramatically.
Mobow....this statement would "seem" to contradict the theory Scott eludes to. Can you expound on it some?
Thanks.
I may not know exactly where they are bedded, and I may not know exactly where they are eating. But I DO know the terrain structure they will utilize to get where ever it is they are going. Since employing that tactic, my doe sightings, AND my buck sightings, have increased dramatically.
That answers your question... He wasnot familiar with the deer herds habits on that piece of land, he didn't know what areas bucks or does preferred.
Also, as I said in the other thread... Their homeranges do overlap in almost all cases.... In the midwest that I am familiar with there is no getting around it.
Scott, while this is certainly true, I also don't think a deer will bed, or eat, in the same place day after day. Could I be wrong? Oh yeah. They may bed in the same general area, but I'm not sure they enter and exit viathe sameroute all the time. It's pretty rare that I see a deer do the same thing 2 days in a row. I THINK that's why funnels and travel corridors work so well. Where they may be going to could be a broad area, but they are going to come through this saddle at some point to get there.
