Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Serious Deer Talk Forum Map of Alabama deer restocking program

Here’s an explanation for what I believe is causing this slight difference that they are distinguishing as green and brown with some areas having an early to mid Jan rut and some having a late Jan rut……It’s simply due to how things “shook out” with the original groups of deer they restocked from southwest Alabama…..If you look at the counties they pulled deer from to restock you will see that they pulled does from green and brown areas across those southwestern counties.......We took some does that had an early Jan rut date from those northern counties like Sumpter and some that had a late Jan rut date from those southern ones like Clarke and released them at different locations creating different epicenters for those doe populations to expand from……What has happened is that the different stockings have formed these isolated doe pockets over time……A lot could have happened back then with the restockings and a lot of this is most likely just due to which of those original deer survived and which didn’t and which ones went this way and which ones went that way…….but in the end you had it shake out where you still have pockets of each one today still running true to the original stockings and overlapping at these breaks. What the true map is probably gonna look like is more intense smattering of green circles in areas where those Clarke Co doe releases settled out.
