Not 20 miles south of the AL line in Walton county, FL the bucks are still together. There was a 7pt killed on my place this morning still running with another buck about the same size. Didn't stink and his tarsals were not very dark yet. So they haven't come close to starting here in FL yet. Still about a month or so out here. I would think it wouldn't be too much different in South Alabama. Our mean conception dates here run between Feb 6th-19th for the does that have been tested in the surrounding areas.
