I believe I remember him saying they had some deer travel more than 50 miles to get to specific yarding areas in the Adirondacks.
I read a study of deer travel that showed radio collared deer traveling over 2 miles to go to a natural mineral site, DAILY.
More proof of what I have always believed. Deer/Bucks can, and will, show up when they want to. There does not have to be a rhyme or reason. It is just a fact. Old mossy horns may be 2 miles away the night before you go to your stand. He may just be under your stand by 9:00AM.
