So you know where your target buck's bed is, huh? Do you know where all 39 beds are?

That's the average number of distinct bedding sites an individual buck used during November alone from one of our recent studies on adult buck movement. A red circle on the map indicates a bed from a single buck during November and each point is a GPS location taken at 15-minute intervals. The rut doesn't occur until late December in this area, so November is still well inside the pre-rut period. Of the 10 bucks we looked at for this, one of them had 71 distinct bedding sites! Most bucks clearly favored some sites over others and returned to some beds multiple times, but most beds were used only once.

There's lots of variation among individual deer for nearly everything we talk about: home range size, movement rates, diet selection, and now bedding sites. Finding a buck's "bedroom" sounds like a great way to punch a tag, but it gets a little more complicated when he uses 39 bedrooms during a single month. One reason bucks might avoid using a single bed site is the same reasons hunters wish they bedded in the same place every night... it makes them more susceptible to predation!
