“Excursions” are when a buck or doe leaves their well established home range and travels on a quick loop over a few hours and miles. Most bucks take excursions during the rut. And this is why you never know what you’ll encounter when you go to the woods. Just because your target buck went home with someone else, keep hunting! A buck you’ve never encountered before could appear any moment. #deerscience #deerhunting #deer #bucks #nationaldeerassociation | National Deer Association
