I disagree CNC. Sorry. Those deer are still to this day, different than all other deer in the state. They held a stronghold for decades due to absolutely zero deer that could ingress into that population. It wasn’t until the introduction of south AL deer in the 90s that the rut started having a trickle affect. I collected does out there several years and we saw no evidence of later breeding except on the outside fringes of the area. Everything within the Bankhead boundary, and even areas further out, we’re all bred from early November to early December, with a couple of outliers in mid December.
