Heck, forget about genetics and traits and any of that stuff and just whittle it down to the most basic things that we KNOW are occurring on the ground…..Look at what we know about how bucks behave compared to does and then look at the map the DCNR has put out…..Those little green and red dots they are beginning to fill in……don’t those match much more with how does would expand and distribute themselves instead of how bucks would do it? For example, if you look at Bankhead and how a doe population would be isolated in that area…..it matches up perfectly with where we see the Nov lines being drawn…..Bucks are definitely moving in and out of that area yet the Nov rut remains confined……Why?......Because the does remain confined.


It doesn’t really matter if we say its genetics or if its being caused by something in the female we don’t even know about yet…..but…..what is obvious though is that there are distinct doe populations that exist and are being isolated and these areas of isolated doe populations match up perfectly with what the rut map the DCNR is painting is telling us……
