Default Deer Travel 20 miles?

Took a ride with the better half to see a deer feeding yard in Northern New Hampshire. These feeding yards don't start until there is a lot of snow. I hunt up there a few days every year and thought it would be a good idea to get a visual on what bucks I never got to see this past season(before they shed).
There were deer all over the place...bedded down with-in yards of the road...stopped for breakfast and ran into a game biologist..They (he) claims and I have read articles feeding deer is a very bad idea. There are a bunch of reasons but this one I had to pass along..They(he) claims deer will travel from 20 miles to feed at these yards! Even though there were a lot of deer there...more than what I could imagine to be in that immediate area I just find it hard to believe this is possible. 20 miles? Ok I'll bite how do they know?
