RE: Another question about antlers and growing potential.
Very good posts. I am however shocked that ANYONE would argue with photoperiodism, especially once it has been explained by someone who obviously know what he is speaking of??? This is clearly THE stimilus to the entire whiteatils biology. I am actually VERY impressed to see anyone on the forums bring this scientifically proven FACT up. Most seem to base such factors as rut timming and antler growth to old wives tales based on something their grandpa told them back in the ol' days. This dictates the timming and stress factors dictate the exact specific date per animal. As you mentioned above, Mother Nature seems to have a will of her but she can only supress biology for so long. Thanks again, I have enjoyed seeing the educational posts.
