Default RE: Alabama Rut

I found the following at the website address below:
BREEDING PERIOD OR RUT
Throughout Alabama, some breeding takes place from as early
as mid-November to as late as the end of February or early March. For
most of the state, peak-breeding activity occurs around mid- to late January.
Research conducted by state biologists has documented average
conception dates around Thanksgiving, mid-December, early January
and even into early February. Causes for such highly variable breeding
dates are discussed later in this book (see
EFFECTS OF ADULT SEX
RATIO AND BUCK AGE STRUCTURE, page 49
).
