Here in SE Alabama, atleast somne of the does come in heatwell after the end of our season, which has come on Jan. 31 for many, many years. I am guessing the second estrus but I am not so sure that it has not been the first in some ways. Ihave seen bucks fighting like heck, freshly worked rubs and frequently worked scrape lines down into mid spring turkey season ... late March and early April. It is not unusual to see very young, fully spotted 30 +/-pound fawns into middle of November. I have often wondered why when what I read from folks up north is that the peak of the rut islate October to early November-ish?
