SE Alabama ... nada yet.
Some areas like where I hunt near Eufaula typically see a strong estrus cycle starting approximately late November. This maybe due to stocking done in the 1930's using deer captured in the mid-west. Something is at work that has lead to this timing. I am not sure what, but cannot think of anything else that it might be other than this.
Weirdly enough to some of you I am sure .... I hunt a 640 acre area not more than 30 air miles NW and another 880 acre place about 60 miles nearly due north of my main place in Russell Co. Since 1974, estrus on these two properties never ... and I mean never .... gets rolling until Jan. 10 or later. Some times not until after the season ends ... Jan. 31.
I find that strange.
