ORIGINAL: thundermug

TR should stick to the state he is from. I hunt Raiford WMA in central Fl. and I have SEEN a buck mount a doe in late Sept. If that isn't the rut....AND if yo go to any WMA they have a list of the peak rut from county to county. I live in Duval county in NE Fl. and the rut happens at the end of the year but where i hunt it happens sooner. Part of the reason is the water level in different parts of Florida from the rainfall. Some parts get more rain at different times of the year. For some reason does do not want their fawns swimming on the day they are born.

Florida is a different place than any where else and we have a different subspecies of deer. Apparently they do things different down here.
sending a huge THANK YOU...........

being me, i just dont seem to have enough confindence in my hunting skills yet, i mean i do, but to stand my ground is unusual.....unless i am absolutely sure.....i'm a turkey hunter playing the role of deer hunter til turkey season comes around again, so i tend to lack knowledge that you men folk have......thanks again for the confindence boost......in the beginning it sure looked like i could of been way off, but i knew better....
