I believe every buck is different. Some can probably range from several hundred acres and some less than 100 acres. I believe it not only depends on the buck's personality but the conditions at hand. The terrain where he lives, the hunting pressure in the area, available food and bedding areas, etc.
I believe this also. There is a difference between his home range and his core area. I read an article by some big buck expert, I can't remember whom, where he stated that some old, mature bucks can have a core area as small as 40 acres. Their personality is a big factor in this.
