IE photoperiodism. Which is scientific fact. It simply does not change from year to year with any level of significance.

correct.. they can strut until they have no more wings and gobble till they lose their voice, but until the actual length of daylight is right aint none of them breeding

That’s the same thing they say for deer and the timing of the rut. Majority of the country the rut is mid November. Isn’t it wild how majority of Alabama is January, Mississippi is December and Georgia is November.



But if you look at where the deer were restocked from you’ll see the rut timing to be very similar. Those timings were for best survivability for the fawns. Places where traditional flooding occurred the rut timing changed.

Considering these restockings are in a short time frame nothing has changed as of yet.

Studies have been done so maybe one of the bios can explain it better.
