He has some good eyes if he shot the deer after 5:30. I’m far west of Ga over here in La and it’s pretty dark at that time over here. He's in the Eastern time zone.

I got a pic from a friend of a buck killed in Tifton, Ga. (real close to Worth Co.) that scored 171 typical. South Georgia has been dropping some real studs this year. I was sent a pic of another buck today that would score in the 120's, it has freckled face like German Shorthair pointer it also has white spots the size of half dollars all over its back and sides.

Exceptional antlers, no denying that. But 3 things stand out to me in the story that is not really huge news but interesting none the less. 1). The deer came to corn. 2). The deer was known to be moving in daylight hours. 3). The deer was known to be ranging 5 miles. That definitely is not unheard of. I don't know what the average would be on a mature buck but if it is 5 miles it wouldn't surprise me. Everyone trying to manage " their" deer needs to think about that. Everyone who wants a large set of antlers need to think about how far away that deer might be on any given hunt. That brings us to trying to produce the very best habitat we can. A place where that mature buck likes and wants to frequent. oh hell , they thought about it . thats why some want the reg's to limited hunting .

We've all seen mature bucks that move in the daylight. They usually die quick though. We've all seen mature bucks eat corn. But the hardest thing for us to track is how far a mature buck travels. Lots of variables. Deer differ. Rut/nonrut. Pressure. To me this is intriguing and always a chance for that deer to come by you. Most would rather discuss this deer s antlers but I am more interested in his behaviors. why i have always had the opinion there's never a bad time to hunt. i've seen some good deer when a lot of folks would've stayed home .

I think its gonna be very habitat dependent…..I believe the area where the 200 inch deer was killed has a lot of farmland with wood lots. Check on that but I remember another big deer being killed in that county last year and that was how the article described it. A buck is probably gonna roam across larger areas in farmland habitat like that versus areas that have a lot of really thick unbroken understories. Also, bucks are individuals…..some will just roam more than others by nature.

There have been studies on collared mature bucks detailing their travel routines and distances they travel. They consistantly travel long distances taking fairly consistant routes to their preferred food source, almost every night. The one particular study im referring to showed them traveling over long distances at night, going back to the same general area and not ranging far during the day. I think there were 34 collared deer, could be wrong about the number. My memory is bad so I'm sure I will screw this up. I read one where they were tracking a buck. He stayed in a fairly general area. One day he ups and trave!s like 10 miles, stays a few days, and returns to his area. A few years later he travels to that spot so far away that he had only gone once and dies.

I had a nice 3-4 year old buck hang out in here from last November all the way through Feb that I would see pretty regular. My place was definitely within his core area during that period because I would get him on camera and see him constantly. He disappeared some time in late Feb and wasn’t seen all summer long….nothing but does in my pics. Well, a couple of weeks ago he showed back up again.
I see this happen just about every year now. I’ll get nothing but does during the summer and then bam the bucks will show up after velvet shedding. They are definitely living in two different areas during the summer and winter. I’d love to know where they’re going during the summer and why. I think a lot of what they do is because of doe distribution across the landscape. I think the bucks are coming in here during the winter to establish breeding territory because of the high doe concentration. I think its also part of the very same reason they leave during the summer months. I suspect they're laid up in a nice cool bottom somewhere away from the pregnant wimmens.

Good reading BTW. His first rule is one everyone needs to remember about mature bucks . https://www.qdma.com/10-things-know-mature-buck-movements/
