Secondly, it is the meteorological/weather conditions (as in the arrival of spring weather, that allows new green growth for the does to eat, which allows them to produce milk for the fawns to survive) that actually is the determining factor (not the trigger) as to when deer "should breed"
God bless,
T.R.
Why would meteorologica/weather conditions, as in the arrival of spring weather be the determining factor of when breeding takes place, but not the meteorological/weather conditions as the arrival of the fall solistice? Doesn't this suggest the doe are clarevoiant?
The spring event occurs while the doe are already impregnated, the arrival of fall, shorter days, etc.,etc. occurs prior. Seems the latter would be more influential in being the determining factor of when breeding takes place. Just my non professional, non-degree observation.
May God be with you.
I refer to " full blown rut " as to when I see buck breeding/ attempting to breed with doe. None of my stated observations are based on amount of sign. In fact several areas I hunt in have very little sign, compared to others. Just to save you the effort, I realize what a number of reasons for this are.
