Agreed. They have a large area they roam within a few acres, but depending on the time of year, will stick to a home range of 150 acres. We all know bucks bachelor up in the Spring & Summer, but as we get into Fall and territorial pre-rut activity begins, they split up. Many times changing their home ranges. Some deer will travel a few miles if necessary.
