Badlands Mule Deer

[Kurtr]

How far do mule deer roam on average? If you spot a nice buck in July or August what are the chances he will be in the same area in November? What's the best week to rifle hunt mule deer bucks first or second week of gun season? Where to look come November, food sources, water, woody draws, all of the above? I gotta draw this year I can taste it!

pre rut i have found they get into a pretty good routine as long as they are not pressured. Seems once the rut hits all bets are off and they can travel far. Then december ish it is about finding the feed and shelter to try and recoup.
