The deer stocked in most Alabama counties came from areas that fawns need to drop in July or August not March, April or May. With the cold weather up north the fawns need to be born as early as possible because of the shorter summer season. The deer along flood plains need to be later in the summer so as not to be born and washed away by flood. I think there are 16 subspecies of the whitetail in the U.S.. In southwest Georgia a lot of deer do rut in October and November. You can get one of the biologist to explain it to you better but where the subspecies came from that were stock in Alabama is the answer.
