I dunno.....I hunt every year on an 11,000 acre ranch. While I'm there for the 9 day season, I see quite a few of the same deer multiple times....now if I operated the same place for the purpose of only hunting (it's a cattle ranch) I'd assume I'd have a better idea of where these same deer were, as well as many other deer. And this is on a property 10X bigger than the one in question. To me 1200 really ISN'T that big.
With that said, to each their own.
