Yet people will still swear culling free range bucks makes a difference

And there will be people who use this one deer to justify shooting any deer because “ they travel 18miles and someone else is gonna shoot him”.
The same MSU group has some bucks spending 80% of its entire year in a 40ac block!!
GPS data has or should be eye opening and game changing for what most people think they know about whitetails and MSU is leading the charge on that data gathering.

I have an uncle who has hunted Davis Island for 30 years or so, old schooler. I've been a few times in those 30 years.

He and everyone else always said "all" their deer left every year and came back, most swim the river once flooding starts.

I doubt they "all" come back, I'm sure some die and some find a new spot to live that doesn't flood as much.

Exactly, there are deer who have done the complete opposite and pretty much stay in one place their whole life. I think the takeaway should be that all deer are unique, what you know about one probably won't be the same for the next.

Some bucks are brawlers and all they do is fight and try to frick. Others do the exact opposite and do very little breeding. They are all unique is the growing consensus.
