How will cattle affect deer movement???
I hunt in a place where they are just getting ready to dump a whole bunch of cattle on the property. Their is also cattle on all the surrounding property. Will this move the deer completly out of my area? And if so how can I help to keep them around.

I have cattle all around my properties and I have seen no changes...I wont lie deer definitely move freer when the cattle aren't around, but they still will use their trails

The biggest problem is they compete for the same food. If your area is mostly based on food sources you could be in trouble. If it's cover and travel corridors, then no problem.
