What about all our bucks?

I'm afraid with the does in heat on your side of the line and none on our side, all our bucks may rush to Mississippi in February and alter the buck to doe ratio on our side of the line.

We should probably put tags in the ears to idendity the Alabama bucks from the Mississippi bucks. Somehow we are going to have to keep the January rutting Alabama bucks from crossing over and interbreeding with the February rutting Mississippi deer.

I say if ya'll catch an Alabama buck trying to slip accross the line to breed a Mississippi doe in February, he should be shot.

It's the only way to keep the populations pure and rutting at their appropriate times.
