Movements and home range dynamics of Roe Deer, Capreolus capreolus L. in southeastern Norway
Thirty-three Roe deer were radio-collared on a winter feeding site near the coast in SE Norway during 1984 - 87. Nineteen of the animals remained year-round within 2 km of the feeding site. The others migrated an average of 8 km to their summer ranges, but generally returned to the feeding site eac...

| description |
Thirty-three Roe deer were radio-collared on a winter feeding site near the coast in SE Norway during 1984 - 87. Nineteen of the animals remained year-round within 2 km of the feeding site. The others migrated an average of 8 km to their summer ranges, but generally returned to the feeding site each fall. During summer bucks defended territories averaging 34.8 ha. Related does appeared to stay in groups with home ranges adjacent to each other and there was an extensive overlap in area use within a group, but less so between groups. Average home range size of does was 38.4 ha. Home ranges of mothers and daughters tended to separate as the daughters grew older. Most migrating animals moved to the east and had summer ranges in the interior, where winter death rate was expected to be high. Apparently migrating animals were most likely to find unoccupied territories in this area.
