you won't believe this but i can put you in contact with 2 Florida Wildlife Biologist that can verify this. there are 2 w.m.a.'s next to me that are seperated by a two lane road. both area's are different w.m.a.'s and right across the street from the other and their rut is approximately 2 months apart. one's rut is in mid october and the other is in mid december.
