Except it doesn’t happen that cut and dry…….Deer shift their patterns and shuffle around a little several times a year due to resource availability…..At the end of the day, food and having babies still factors in…..

For example, right now at the tail end of winter you have a lot does heavily concentrated on the remaining food sources….you see a lot in food plots…..As soon as spring green up starts budding out though you’ll see that cease as those concentrations spread back out. All of those does grouped up on the 2,000 acre club greenfields will spread out in late Feb early March to take advantage of the new growth…..That’s when some of those empty holes around the 2000 acre club will get tenants moving back in. You’ll have another shift late summer and then concentrating up again the next winter and so on and so forth through time…..There’s a slight reshuffling and redistribution periodically going on across the bigger areas. That's how the farmer with the depredation permit just keeps getting more does moving back in.......The total doe killing rate for the whole map I drew matters more than any one square.
