Boy, you guys sure are being nice to me today. But tell Jeff Murray or Charles Alsheimer, or Laroch, or Kroll and Koerth, becaue they say it is the moon. I was the first person to be able to prove it, and the first to say it in print, back in abouy 2000 or so, because I had the breeding dates of 1600+ does, over and 8 year periond, that showed peak breeding in Minnesota occurred during the week of Nov 12 all eight years. And again the moonies predicted as early as the last week of Oct, to as late as the last week of Nov. They were wrong, and the scientists were right.
