The MSU Deer Lab just completed a historical buck movement study in central Mississippi. Researchers collected over 700,000 buck locations generated from more than 50 collared adult bucks across 66,000 acres of private recreational properties in Madison and Yazoo counties. Stand by as we release these results through informative videos every Thursday over the coming months. Make sure to follow our Facebook page so you don't miss these research results!

Here’s 365 days of movement from 15 of our adult bucks in central Mississippi. A couple of key observations: 1. A couple of these bucks appear to be in bachelor groups in spring and summer, and although they split up during the rut, they don’t go too far from one another. 2. The bucks with a mobile personality are bouncing between home ranges during all times of year, but those quick trips back and forth are concentrated around the tail end of the rut. Lots to unpack here... What else do you not

This video shows buck 297's movements during the 2 week early rut period. The blue dots represent the time and location of his bed sites. We only considered him bedded when he was stationary for at least 1 hour, so there's no doubt this is a conservative estimate of his bed sites. He was a 3.5yo at the time of this video and these movements span over 300 acres and over a mile from east to west. You're clearly not going to find where this buck's "bed" is. He has many beds. Stay tuned over the nex

While young Buzz (534) and Woody (544) look like they’re joyfully playing on a sunny afternoon, an intricate social process is unfolding. They’re figuring out who’s the dominant buck in the bunch. These fawns are showcasing a form of non-verbal communication. Woody is rising up on his hind legs and “striking” his front hooves at Buzz. This is a socially aggressive behavior that deer of all ages will exhibit when they’re trying to display dominance. Instead of striking his brother back, Buzz ran

How consistent are a buck’s movements from year to year? These are buck 293’s movements during the first week of December two years in a row. The red line is his path as a 5.5-year-old and the green line is exactly a year later at 6.5. The light portions of the video represent hours between sunrise and sunset. What do you notice? 1) He tends to move slightly more during the morning shooting hours than evening. Most of our bucks follow the same pattern, moving about 200 yards more in the first co

Buck 293 was 5 years old in summer 2017 and is another example of the mobile personality we talked about in the previous post. He spent most of his time in the northern 1500ac segment of his range but made 16 trips back and forth to the southern 800ac segment over a 20-month period. Although his trips occurred all times of year, they were most frequent at the end of the rut. What’s that suggest? It’s impossible to say for sure, but we suspect he was back and forth so often at the end of the rut
