Movement matters for mule deer during the fall
 CHEYENNE ? Most humans have a consistent address, living in the same location year-round. Although occasional moves happen, most people stick to one area for all seasons. But we all know someone who lives in a warmer location during the winter and returns to a more moderate climate as things start to heat up. It?s not a bad idea. Relocating over the seasons gives people the best weather at each locale. The concept isn?t exclusive to humans. Many animals migrate to a different area as weather changes. But for deer, relocating seasonally isn?t for convenience or to chase the best weather; it?s a matter of life and death.?Rather than seeking warmer weather, mule deer relocate between summer and winter ranges for survival.
