At lease the Brazoria County rut thread has to do with deer, beats some of the other topics I've seen on here the last few months. ...and yes, it is on in Brazoria county, a buck has been chasing around the house for two days now.
Never seen any fawns till first week or so in May and bucks not hard antlered yet so no breeding going on around here. Usually in mid October around here
For the ones who seem to always want to call BS. Here's some info for you. Straight from TPWD..
And the time fluctuates here as it does anywhere else.. Now stuff it. [emoji6]
Gulf Coast Marshes and Prairies
The earliest whitetail breeding in the state occurred in this ecological region. Breeding occurred in the period August 24 to November 25. There were two study areas: the northern study area had a peak date of September 30, while the southern area was a month later with an October 31 peak breeding date. Does showed a 92 percent breeding success and 1.6 fetuses were found on the average for each doe sampled. The majority (90%) of the fawns would have been born by May 10 in the northern area and by June 6 in the southern area.

I remember that. I used to trail around in the woods north of the HS before it was built and I’d see deer every time. Had buddies that shot big deer out of rancho isabella every year.

There is a big live oak about 4 streets in on the west side of Rancho that I would set in and hunt with my open sight 30/30 back in the mid 70's when I was 10-12 years old.. It was one of the only trees they didn't doze down with they built that subdivision. It still stands.. My how time has change things..
There has always been a lot of deer in that area..
