a core area as small as 40 acres
A core bedding area maybe.
I'll take it a step further and say I believe a core bedding area can be less than one acre, given the right area.
Could a buck's core area be 40 acres? Sure, given the right terrain.....remember we've got to think "outside the box."
I should also add that we're getting into 3 topics here....core bedding area, core area and home range. The first inside the second inside the third....yet totally different.
