Default RE: Do Deer return To The Same Area

I don't know about your area but when I had my property in NW WI the deer left to yard up about 5 miles away as soon as the snow depth got to over 2 feet.
As far as I could tell, the same deer came back in the spring.
The WI DNR did a study on Deer Migration ( not just short trips to yarding areas) in that part of the state several years ago. The Deer along the south shore of Lake Superior would travel as much as 20 to 30 mile south each winter to yard in the cedar forest south of the lake near Hayward and Cable.

Those Deer for the most part would return to the area from whense they came as the spring sun warmed the area and melted the snow.
