If I remember this guy correctly, he owns a HF ranch/farm in louisiana. So it is possible the buck sheds one place, moves into his summer range, but moves somewhere during the winter that is inaccessible, but unlikely it is a mile or further away.

If this is rusty/el gato, he has a primo set up with great food plots and native forbs. He has worked hard to get where he is at, pumped a lot fo money into it and has no real job (for which he openly admits he is lucky to have the ability to do what he does), so he has lots of time to devote to his hobby/lifestyle. If that is the voice i am hearing.

Could I ask why it is unlikely.
I guided quite a bit on a place that was about 3500 acres and was L shaped so from one corner of the ranch to the other farthest corner was about 5 miles. It was not at all uncommon to see a buck that spent the spring, summer and early fall at one spot and then be 3 or 4 miles away during the deer season.

HF, a tad over 1000 acres. It could be a mile or so, but not much more than that. And that would be from fence to fence. Unlikely a deer is moving into a corner of a HF and going to the other corner right up next to the fence. If weird shaped HF maybe more likely. I will give you that.

Yes sir, very true. If the place is square than it would be about 1.3 miles between paralleling fence lines.

So, assuming the 1,000 acres is square, it would actually be 1.8 miles from corner to corner diagonally across the ranch.

If it rained that much in South Texas....South Texas landscape and habitat would be vastly different. It would be amazing to see how those genetics would look with that much moisture. Tecomate has done some amazing things with their food plot systems in that low rainfall area of the state. Google Campos Viejos Ranch if you want to see what 100% native Texas genetics and Tecomate food plot system can do for whitetails in the dry arid part of South Texas. It takes major farming skills and equipment but it can be done even in South Texas if you have the resources to do it. The $ky is the limit.

What a Stud regardless of what kind of fence is there

A thought on bucks travel patterns and distances. Back in the early 90's I went to Dr. Kroll Boot Camp were we spent a week in the field of learning his research and knowledge of whitetail and management. He told the group that they had tagged/collared some East Texas buck and followed their movements, especially during the rut. Several miles was common and they had one buck that went 21 miles...14 one direction then a 90 degree turn for 7 more. He did this routine for several years and even crossed a river at flood stage one of those years. He was the one that went the greatest distance and returned back to his home range every year. A ranch I was on last fall had a group of bucks move from their home feeder/range in Sept and move south for 3.5 miles as the crow flies to a different feeder. They stayed around that feeder for 2 or 3 days and then returned back home. All documented by trail cameras. This ranch is HF and has been for a long time. Same ranch had a buck back in the late 90's or early 2000's that I found on trail cameras one night at 4 different feeders on the Friday night before opening morning. He made that feeder run in about 4 hrs and was killed at daylight at the first one he started at. He covered about 1000 acres that night and that areas was about 1.5 miles wide on the south end and about a mile to the feeder to the north.
