how far will bucks travel for food?

[deerhunterdon]

Some of the places that I hunt have crops within a half mile, there are plenty of mast crops available , grass, acorns and water is always a couple steps away. I always figured that standing corn was the main destination for feeding deer to meander to during the night. am I mistaken ? I have always assumed I needed to get between the corn and a bucks bedding area , is it possible that a Buck could have a primary food source other than corn when there standing corn within a mile ?

I think acorns and soft mast might be higher on preference list.... But deer are browsers and they eat everything just about... My bet is bucks are browsing on acorns, natural forage etc on way to a late night feeding destination. So finding bedding areas is the way to kill The better bucks. I have seen deer in the hills travel over a mile or two to feed at night with trail cams
