Look at the picture below and we’ll use the green area again for our example…….Let’s say you own the property outlined in red……Now its likely a given that you have constant road mortality to the north from any deer that tries to use both sides……So which direction will 9 out 10 does come from to replace the doe mortality that occurs on the red property……it most likely going to come from doe expansion from within the green circle and not from the other side of the interstate……Yes, there will be a small amount of back or forth that happens with some does and that is why you have a perimeter of variance with each population. When you take this process and play it out over and over and over then what you get is an expansion of that interior doe trait to an edge.
