Deer GPS Study Shows How Whitetail Bucks Really Travel During the Rut
Every fall whitetail deer go through a 1- to 3-month-long breeding season that we call the rut, and in that time a mature doe will become sexually receptive for only a short period of 1 to 2 days. During the rut, bucks are known to change their movement behavior, focusing primarily on finding receptive does rather than acquiring resources ...
MSU deer study finds some are travelers, others homebodies
MSU deer study finds some are travelers, others homebodies. Contact: Grace Jones. Luke Resop, a master's student in Mississippi State's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture, tranquilized and hooded this white-tailed deer, so he could put a GPS radio collar on it. This deer is an example of one with a mobile personality.
GPS Reveals Early Season Buck Movement Patterns
Now let's look at some buck behaviors. Early season vanishing tricks can often be attributed to a home-range shift like the one you see here: For the first few weeks of monitoring, from August 24 to September 12, this 2½-year-old buck lived in a small area at the northern edge of the property (the black line is the study-site boundary).
The buck stops where? Longest-ever deer distance
In their study, published in the journal Ecology and Evolution, researchers analyzed data from GPS radio collars on more than 600 deer in Missouri. One dispersal, or long-distance journey, of an ...
Mature Buck Travels 200 Miles, 8 1/2 Miles Per Day During Rut
In the research study by the University of New Hampshire, published in the journal Ecology and Evolution, researchers analyzed data from GPS radio collars on more than 600 deer in Missouri. One dispersal, or long-distance journey, of an adult white-tailed deer stood out for its length, duration and age of the deer. The buck traveled close to 200 miles over 22 days by moving an average of ...
Understanding Buck Movement: How, When, and Why Bucks Navigate the
Deer thrive throughout our study area of private landholdings along the Big Black River in Mississippi (Figure 1). ... The distance a deer must travel to meet its daily needs will be greater for deer living in environments where the required resources are scattered across the landscape. Conversely, we would expect to see smaller home range ...
The Buck Stops Where? UNH Research Records Longest-Ever Deer Distance
DURHAM, N.H.—Why did the deer cross the road? According to research from the University of New Hampshire to keep going and going and going. Researchers have discovered the longest distance ever recorded by an adult male white-tailed deer—300 kilometers, or close to 200 miles, in just over three weeks. The finding has important implications for population management and the transmission of ...

This Buck Swims Across the Mississippi River and Back Every Year
Using a GPS collar, researchers with the Deer Lab have been tracking one buck in particular that swims across the Mississippi River twice a year as he migrates from Mississippi to Louisiana and back again. Known as Buck 140, the deer travelled 18 miles during the winter of 2021, crossing the Big Muddy to get to Louisiana.
To Intercept Bucks in Daylight, Take Lessons From GPS-Collar Research
These questions led us to pull a dataset from South Carolina that was amassed by Dr. Steve Ditchkoff and several former Auburn Deer Lab graduate students. The dataset spanned nearly 10 years and included fine-scale GPS movements for 54 bucks and 57 does. The average age at capture was 4 years old for does and 2.8 years old for bucks.
Deer Movement Study
Rainy weather isn't good. Cloudy skies are somewhat better for spotting deer movement. A clear sky is the best day to hunt, with bright, clear, cold days the most productive. "The third factor impacting deer movement has surprised all of us associated with the study. Wind velocity plays a major role in whether deer move or don't move.
Mississippi State Study Sheds Light on The Mysteries Behind Buck
A study by Mississippi State will help shed light on buck movement and where he might be going. The Mississippi State University Deer Lab is performing a three-year study where they analyze patterns and trends in mature buck movement. They started this project in 2018 and, so far, the study shows bucks falling into one of two broad categories.
Deer Are Everywhere, but We Barely Know Them
By Ashley Stimpson. Oct. 16, 2023. On June 4, 2013, Buck 8917 did something weird, for a deer: He took a long, purposeful walk. Researchers from Penn State had captured and put a GPS collar on the ...
You Won't Believe How Far this Buck Traveled
A Historic Journey The researchers who published the paper are working on a more extensive study tracking the survival, population recruitment, habitat use, and resource selection of whitetails in Missouri. They put GPS collars on 343 whitetails, including 58 adult males and 123 male fawns. The Odysseus deer, known in the paper as N17003, was collared when he was 2.5 years old and appeared ...
Missouri Whitetail Travels Nearly 200 Miles
Wanderlust took on a whole new meaning in the whitetail deer woods after a radio telemetry study found that a Missouri buck traveled 8.5 miles per day, logging nearly 200 miles in just 22 days, during the 2017 rut. The University of New Hampshire published the study in the journal Ecology and Evolution. Researchers analyzed data from GPS radio ...
What was learned in a southeast Minnesota deer study?
A GPS-collared buck from southeastern Minnesota was captured on a game camera during the DNR's deer movement study that started in 2018 and wrapped up in August 2022. In total, 229 deer, mostly 1-2-year-old does and bucks, were monitored in the study to help wildlife biologists better understand how deer are moving in the southeast region of ...
Oh, deer! Missouri buck makes record journey
Using GPS tracking of more than 600 deer in Missouri, researchers found one which traveled nearly 200 miles over a 22-day period. The study was first published in March in Ecology and Evolution .
Deer Movements and Patterns
Deer are ruminants and during that bedding time is when they are fully digesting their food. When the deer gets hungry again, they go back out to feed. Those movements are typically at sunrise and sunset. There are times when deer move throughout the day, but they usually bed during the day and at night. If there is increased hunting pressure ...

Study: Deer Movement vs. Weather and Moon Phase
Our study found that as wind speeds increase, deer movement decreases. Deer were more likely to move during calm conditions. They would move at wind speeds from 3.1 - 6.2 mph (5-10 km/h) but as wind speeds increased from there, deer movement decreased (see below). Relative number of total deer vs wind speed.
