Another deer range question.

All this talk about a buck’s home range got me thinking. If the DNR’s figures are correct 83 deer per sq mile. That means I should have 33 deer on the 250 acres I hunt. With a doe to buck ratio of 3 to 1 I should have at any given time 8.25 bucks on my place.

In the original sq. mile there should be 21 bucks. If the home area of a deer is roughly 1000 acres that’s just over 1 ½ sq. miles. I should have 30 different bucks on my place through out the course of a year.

My question is do any of you think that it is possible to have 30 different bucks in such a small area.
I attached a pic to show roughly what kind of area we are talking about. My place is in the middle of the mile sq.

P.S. If I made a math mistake please point it out.
