For the GS nay Sayers..(The Brazoria county rut)

Dang, the internets is serious bidness, huh……..

Maybe because there are different subspecies of WT deer in each of those regions mentioned, that have evolved a little different each to their surrounding/conditions?

I’m gonna go with this.👍👍

I don't know anything about the rut down there, but I have a 3ish month old fawn on my place in southern Oklahoma (Spots just starting to fade)... do the math on that... it had to be conceived in April? Seems almost 6 months wrong. Definitely interesting, but I'm not making any rut determinations from it.

We hunted a small track in Fort Bend county for a few years. Peak rut activity often was over by the start of bow season. Most definitely a challenging and at times frustrating area to hunt.

I wouldn't bet against you
I had a buck trailing a doe here in Feb
Guess we will find out if she was bred if I see a fresh fawn in September

Doe, or doe fawn?

I’ve seen spots in November and out first rut is in September.

We have a blending of East Texas, Coastal, and introduced S Texas genetics all in the same area.

They just hump 24/7/365

That's what happens when you use Buck Candy or Double Down.

Not arguing by any means but from what I know/ have read the rut is triggered by length of daylight

If that is indeed the case, how would it be around the 1st week in Nov up here, mid to late Dec in south Texas (I may be off on that) but 60 days earlier from my area which is between me and the southern zone?
Something does not add up and quite possibly the whole length of daylight thing is a farce

Not all deer go by daylight savings time. This has caused massive confusion in the deer breeding world. If the government would stick with one time throughout the year they would all get back to breeding like they are supposed to.

Try hunting a tract of land. Hunting a track is too small of an area unless a deer happens to be standing in said track.

Must have been bred by a buck still in velvet if bred sept 1 st. Humm better check if the neighbors have a pet doe and teenage sons.

Heard a long time ago that white tailed deer pretty much died out in the mid coast area so a bunch where brought in from Florida. Apparently it was the subspecies with the smallest horn and body genetics.
