A lake house, a beach cottage, or a mountain retreat – some of us are lucky enough to spend summer far from the biting winter. Turns out some deer do too!
I’m sure many people, especially deer hunters, have heard this statement: “the average home range of a buck is 1 square mile.” But, check out this buck from Potter County.
Seasonally changes in behavior and home range have been well documented for their western and northern cousins, but what of elevational migration? Do Pennsylvania whitetails surrender the penthouse view in winter?
In a previous post we warned you that not all buck home ranges are 1 square mile. Home range size depends on where a deer lives in Pennsylvania and you may be surprised by how much home range size varies.
