Deer - Feeding Habits.

[Little Butch 16]

I was talking about this to a lad I know and none of us knew the answer so thought I'd ask on here...

How far will Deer travel from Woodland at Night, Dawn or Dusk to feed?

i expect differnt types of deer will travel differnt distances? I guess at predominantly solidity and herd deer will play a huge role in how far they travel?

on the west coast of scotlan where i occasionally go up to stalk a bit and mess about the reds and sika will happily ramble a couple of miles down from the hill during the night to get to the silage fields but i think roe won't go nearly that far if there isn't a shortage of food. i would have said that arround us its mabey 400-500 yards but then again there is a lot of food about and i suppose its the same as with anything else - different place, different surroundings/covert/food - different habits.
