Re: Are most of the bucks just passing through?
I live in flat farmland and 5 years ago I had my buck all figured out he was staying in a gravelpit 13 miles from town. I watched him everyday and a week before season he vanished. 3 days later I seen him a mile from town with a heard of does that summer there. I watched him for 4 days till opening day when I got him. I am sure this is the same deer and he traveled at least 12 miles in serch of does. I also know every deer on the inlaws farm and in the area, In the fall you never know what you will see, I found one that scored 170 dead and noone ever seen him awound there. They seem to travel lots when rutting finding the does in heat. They do this in the flat farmland not sure of the bush!
