I saw a map somewhere that showed where the imported deer were put in and from where..Can't rem. where I saw that now


Choccolocco was stocked with North Carolina deer from Pisgah National Forest in the mountains. Bankhead was with Michigan deer. Both areas were some of the very first to be stocked in the early 1900s. Both areas were extremely remote and had virtually no deer when they stocked them so that's why both still have November ruts. Those stocked deer became the dominant herd. Several other areas in the state were stocked with northern deer, but it wasn't isolated enough to keep the native herd and other stocks from south Alabama from diluting the genetics. If only they had restocked all of northern Alabama with Michigan deer.......
