Okay, I recently read "Mule deer Quest" (forget the authors name) and was pretty interested in the chapter on the bucks homerange and center area. It goes something like this...
Every MATURE buck has a home range where he spends a lot of his time during fall. inside his homerange he will have a "center area" where he spends many of his non active hours in. This usually includes a very small area of thick brush or a timber thicket that is basically the bucks living room. He feels very safe there and does not fear predators as it's usually too thick for them to stalk him. He usually has water and good browse nearby. Many bucks will spend the hunting season in their center area only leaving maybe briefly at night.
Do you guys agree with this "theory" as I would call it.
Michael~All Gods creatures welcome... right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy.
