GM. Does anyone know a good place to find kmz files on mule deer migration corridors?

No but i made some pinch point connectivity maps using a software called circuitscape. Probably too much work for you but its pretty cool. Below is an example i made looking at forest block connectivity and pinch points aka bottlenecks... 

I’m sure these exist but I’d love to buy some state maps that show where large game native to the state can be found.
Good little resource for common-sense prepping.
Have you overlayed this with historical ranges to see how it correlates? Super interesting thing you’ve made here.
Not really. Ive modelled habitat connectivity for different types of forest birds. For deer you would need to use a bunch of assumptions about how they move through a landscape. Its mostly theoretical but it may have some merit. There really is no surragate for good old field observations!
Have you used GoHunt?
No this is super useful. I bet it would overlay exactly on migratory charts. Finding those choke points on the chart would be a game changer.
