I believe this to be fact

I have mentioned this to others and they look at me like I'm crazy! :lol:

I have multiple examples and even killed a mature buck one year and one day after getting a daylight trailcam pic in an area he typically did not hang out. I have mentioned what I call "rut circuits" in the past. It is an area or circuit a buck checks for estrus does... they do similar things year to year almost to the day.... sometimes within hours of the year prior

Old news. ;)

Terrain, amount of cover and buck's personalities are driving factors.

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

That info is kinda like a horoscope...
A buck will see you three times, and hear you twice, but he's only gonna smell you once.

Bucky, I think you are right on here. Some buddies and I have noticed this over the last couple years on the trail cams. I bet if people went back through their pictures over the last couple years they would find evidence of this more often than they think.

I know it is hard to believe.... I'm sure it doesn't happen with every deer... but I have seen it enough now to know certain deer will show up in certain areas at specific times of year

Big muskies also follow the same traits.

I absolutely agree with you.

I could cite many examples of getting the same buck in the same area at the same time, its something I keep an eye out for. Of course there are many exceptions as always too.

Somewhat related - I also think individual does come around the same time every year - meaning if a doe comes around early look for her there next year at that time.

Very good read! I will be reading my journals over tonight - that's for sure! :think:

Andrae even mentions this in one of his segments on the Marsh Bucks videos.

This holds true for me on private land, not so much on public (to many outside influences). Also, i always record when i see a 100% for sure hot doe because if her home range is that part of the woods, she's gonna be hot around the same window in the same area come next year.
