This in theory would help bucks particularly by shortening the period of greater stress, but evidently somebody forgot to tell the bucks in east TX, at least around me, because they're still going.

i completely agree. Seen more dear in the last 2-3 days then ive seen all season. I saw atleast 30-40 deer in one of my wheat fields last night. I dont know how many bucks where in the group it was dusky but there was alot of chasing and playing going on.
