Default RE: is the moon the whitetail rut trigger?

i'm not defending the moon trigger theory. i just want to know the answer to better prepare myself, that's all. it seems there are a lot of different opinions on this subject.

i will interject here that alsheimer specifically states that his moon trigger theory only applies to the whitetail populations in the north, as that is all he has studied. (i think, specifically, his research group is in mass. can anyone confirm this?)

anyway, let me ask this question. can anyone recommend a study/experiment that someone has performed (similar to alsheimer's) that lends itself to the photoperiodism theory. (and where can i get my hands on the findings?)
