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.
