Mule
deer migrate along the same corridors or routes year after year. Migration
trails are rarely found on ridge tops or in the bottoms. Most of these trails
are located about a third of the way down the slope. Although the deer seem to
show up out of nowhere, the truth is a deer’s migratory journey can take
several days to several weeks to complete. In some areas, the deer need to
migrate only eight to twelve miles to reach their winter range. In other areas,
the deer will travel as far as 160 miles each fall. The deer will travel three
to four miles and then stop over in much the same way people do when taking a
long trip.
