Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and a relatively new Big mulie hunter. I've killed a pile of small bucks over the years but am now more interested in killing only mature/older bucks. My question is this....if a buck finds a place that he is safe does he use it year after year?
I recently found a big buck in an area much lower ( 1500 feet) than where most of the other bucks were hanging out. It leads me to believe that this is this guys home range. There was no weather to push him to this level.
I realize it is only speculation but...is it possible this guy may be there next year? Assuming, of course, he makes it through all the hunters, lions, etc....
 
Great question. Yes it is very possible for that buck to hang out there all year. You have to factor in the key elements, which are food, cover, and water. If he has those he will stay. Especially if there is no pressure to move. Keep your eyes on that area if he stays you should see him again pre hunt.
