The studies suggest that core ares range from 20 to 150 acres with an average of 60 acres. Home range 300 to 1200 acres with an average of 600 acres.
Studies also suggest, bucks move frequently in daylight within there core but rarely venture out until after dark. Bucks do not always disperse but dispersal rates are high (90%). Bucks some times travel up to five miles during the rut and in some cases, relocate.
This is much more believable. Dispersal rates and home ranges I can agree with.
As a long time shedder.. I can tell you first hand how often I find sheds a mile or more apart. Trailcams of a buck 3/4 of a mile from where an antler lays in spring. It's just not plausable (in my own opinion) that a whitetail buck could have such a small home range... smaller yes... but not less than 200 acres.. and thats really really small.
Likely in terms of 700+ acres on a home range.
