We never saw him before that season, and we never saw him after. I'm guessing he showed up for the rut, hung out as long as food was good in the area, then moved on.

Our property is in the middle of mountainous big woods. There are a few several-thousand acre properties in the area and two state game lands of 54,000 acres and 20,000 acres. There is also a state park on the mountain that is about 20,000 acres. The area is swamp, clear cut and steep mountain sides. Deer can go for miles without crossing a road. I think they range pretty far up there and we get them on our property because we have a nice herd of resident doe.
