Because someone's SWGA 11 1/2 year old management buck named Pat showed up in Ks

Funny!

Years ago , I tracked one for over or around ten miles , and he was still going north!

It’s possible, they have a collared buck traveling 186 miles in 22 days.

A study out of Mississippi had one swimming the big ditch on his regular route.

If it is going past my stand only about another 5 yards.

We had a nice buck 2 years ago on cameras weekly at to places we hunted about 2 1/2 miles apart with a highway in between. After neighbors son shot him we found he was on their cameras weekly and they were another 3 miles away. That buck was regularly crossing a highway and travel at least 5 miles.

younger and older not as much as a mid aged buck.

I'm about there myself........ the big bucks really have my number this year and I'm getting an itchy trigger finger....

I guess not every deer in KS has B&C genetics

They do not..for sure.

In the big woods of Maine it's common to track a buck 10-15 miles in a day and never catch up. The deer density is low so they have to travel a long ways searching for groups of does.There's no agriculture holding them to any one spot so they're constantly moving. If habitat changes due to logging or somthing they may move to the next ridge. In 2 or 3 years when the wood lot gets some good browse again they may move back. In the winter many of these deer may travel 30 miles into town we're the snow depths are less and people feed them.

I got this guy on camera at my property and a friend recognized the buck as the same deer he caught on camera. Six miles away. I think he was on a mission inventorying does prior to the rut.

Some deer have their home ranges and completely different rut/winter ranges.
Some of our deer stick around all year, some leave shortly after rubbing that velvet off and if they make it, return before shedding time. If you want those deer you better be archery hunting.
I find it fascinating keeping up with bucks and their travel patterns and growth. And I really don’t care if I deer hunt or not. I just have to be doing something when I can’t trap or turkey hunt, so deer fill the void. I just believe if you’re going to do something, give it 110% and learn all you can about it.

Right at the beginning of December the resident big boys will make one last cruise through looking for that last hot doe before heading off to a yard. I won't see another deer track until May.

MDC run a study a couple years ago, there was a very respectable buck that travelled over a hundred and twenty miles (bee line) and back during firearm season with most of his travel during legal shooting hours he made the trip their and back down n a two week period.

2 years ago my daughter and I watched and followed a buck chase a doe for 3 and a half miles without pressure, in about 8 minutes. As soon as they got to a plum thicket we snuck in and she shot him.

Now that’s a unique rack! Great deer!
I’m guessing y’all watched from a vehicle, 3.5 miles in 8 minutes is getting it!!

Yes from a vehicle for part of the 8 minutes.
Great management buck 3x3.

I know for a fact at least 6 miles! Had a guy bring in a buck to mount at my taxidermy shop in Nebraska, when he dropped it off I thought dam this buck looks familiar. After he left I realized I had trail camera pictures of that buck, at that point I got a curious thinking I want to know how this (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) poached my deer! I called and asked roughly where he shot it. He told me exactly where he shot it, and the way he was telling me I had no reason to doubt he wasnt being truthful. It was on a piece of ground 6 miles from where I had pictures of him just 3 days before.
