Buck 48 GPS Movements - Sedentary Personality

Buck 48 was captured on public land as a yearling on January 8th, 2021. His home range is about 1,300ac and he has a sedentary personality like 68% of bucks we’ve collared. A few key things to note about his movements: 1. He was shot by a bowhunter in November 2021. The shot was obviously not lethal. His movements don’t skip a beat. 2. His movements seem unpredictable. Many of the other bucks we’ve shown have a mosaic of forests, ag fields, food plots, and old fields in their home range. Their movements are more predictable than buck 48’s, likely because his home range is comprised almost entirely of forest with little variation. As a habitat manager, what do you do with this information? Manipulate the landscape to make deer movements more predictable, of course! 3. Our data from dozens of collared bucks shows excursions, or long-distance trips outside the home range, peak in February and March. This holds true for buck 48. If you run cameras, this is probably when you see lots of new bucks show up.
