IOWABUCKHUNTR,

Not sure what your point is, unless you didn't recognize or understand the "average" that was mentioned.

If 3 bucks had telemetry collars and were studied during their rut period and it was found buck #1 traveled 5 miles one day, buck #2 traveled 9 miles one day and buck #3 traveled 7 miles, together that totals 21 miles. If you take the 21 and divide it by the number of bucks...3, you get 7. So to get an average of 7, you need bucks traveling further than that. LOL! (Unless of course all 3 bucks traveled 7 miles!)

Just about 100% of what people write, studies or factual statements, there is almost never a clause that says it's written in stone and there is no exception to the rule, because there are almost always exceptions to the rule. They are very easy to point out and most people know that enough to not point them out.

And Yes!... 9 miles is more than 7. Not sure where that came from though because you said that buck that was on your buddy's property for two years was shot 8 miles away. I can also say 8 miles is more than 7. LOL!

Adios amigo.
