The average width of feeding zone and the size of daily home range of sika deers during the snow period were estimated by the results of tracking. The method of evaluation of daily home range size basing on the size of feeding zone is proposed. The width of feeding zone in the group of 7 individuals was 18.0±1,0 m (n=6); in the group of 3 individuals – 11.5±0.03 m (n=6). The area used by sika deer within a day was 8.0±0.5 hectare in the group of 7 individuals, and 4.8±0.6 hectare in the group of 3 individuals. Movement of animals in both groups were restricted within the site not exceeding 0.6 thousand ha.
