I largely thought I knew what a home range was and after reading about it some more my visual representation of a home range has gotten smaller and more defined. Just because an elk or deer passes through an area does not qualify it as "Home Range". Home range can for me be defined as an area or map in the mind that is constantly being updated by the places we visit the most and not by the places we pass by. It is important to try and understand the decision before trying to understand what a home range is. Decisions will effect what we call a home range.
