As weird as it may sound to you "northern" folks, the peak of the breeding season here in SE Alabama is mid to late January ... even later. Do the math. No fawns from that groupyet. I have seen tiny, obviously less than a month old fawns, as late as early December. However, there are some areas of Alabama where the decimated Alabama herd was restocked in the 1930's +/- time frame with deer from up north. Mostlyon the US National Forest lands. The peak breeding season of these is more like late November-early December.I hunt in an area near Eufaula. We have 2 distinct times when there are at least some doesin full estrus. It is very disticnt and very obvious. The early one is because of the remnants of the northern, stocking in a nearby National Forest that have expanded their range over the decades and the later from thenative herd. On this property seveal years,last year as an expample, I have seen bucks running does in mid March and active scrapes way down into late turkey season (April). I wish I knew more about why this prolonged "rut" exists.
