Buck travel data
Ok this isn't much but I thought it was interesting to see how this buck got around.
Recently I had a close call with a buck on our farm. Knew he was a good buck. But felt like he needed another year after the sighting and seeing him up close and personal. Very hard to tell by camera pictures.
I went back to the same spot I had seen him Hopeing to get another look and maybe catch another buck coming up the trail. But has luck would have it I heard a gun shot just past the property line. I text my neighboring property owner and ask if he shot and of coarse he did. It was the buck I had seen.
Well last night and today a called around to other property owners around there to see if they had pics of him. Here are the results
The red dot is where he was killed
Yellow dots are all the places where I got picture or video of him.
Blue dots are neighboring property owners that had pictures
The far right blue dot is where my cousin had pics of him in velvet.but only on hard horn pic in October not another pic since. No other properties had velvet pics
Now there's several property that has no hunting at all around there and a few that we didn't have cameras on. Wish I had more infohttps://vimeo.com/153648972

Re: Buck travel data
This is the buck. Easy to tell it was the same one I saw.

Good Stuff, man!

Very cool information!
Every buck is an individual. Some travel great distance and some are real homebodies. I've seen GPS collar data showing bucks that don't leave 100 acres in a year, and bucks that cover 18,000+ acres per year.

I love data and information like this. Really makes you think.

Re: Buck travel data
Good stuff man!
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pu$$ies and I'd catch one with a d1ck broke off in it.
Re: Buck travel data
That's pretty impressive data collection. Good job!
Re: Buck travel data
Would you say the majority do one or the other? I don't have many experiences with a bucks that stay close, but I can think of countless bucks (and stories of bucks) that roam like Forrest Gump running across America.BSK wrote:Very cool information!

Re: Buck travel data
No, I really think each buck is an individual, and with enough bucks studied you would see a little of everything. As I tell hunters all the time, I don't like giving "average" home-range size data because it's meaningless when looking at an individual buck. Few bucks have ranges near the average.ikillbux wrote:Would you say the majority do one or the other?
