We often read and hear about bucks traveling during the rut and pre-rut. It is not often we hear about the does... A radio collared doe was studied by PSU and this is what they found.

Quote :

the map on this page shows the home range (black circle) of a study animal and an excursion it took during the peak of the rut(yellow line).The yellow line shows the FOUR DAY journey of the doe... The doe's home range was approximately 640 acres, and she moved nearly four miles away during the excursion. Researchers identified similar movements in five of eight GPS-collared does during the study..
