I assume you mean that data didn’t support the extended seasons in much of the state?

I’m certain the data did not support the extension and this must be his inference. Surely there would be no reason for the state not to want hunters to have insight into their rut dates.

Let me explain it like this……if we were to go into Clarke Co for example where the rut is pretty much all late Jan across the board and we turned loose 50 does that had a Nov estrous date…….How much competition do you think there would be for those 50 hot does in Nov when no other does were hot??

Question for Double Creek and T-hatchie since y’all seemed interested in the topic…….Now this is totally hypothetical, no way anyone would actually do this………But lets just say us three were gonna turn loose those 50 Nov does into Clarke Co……What would be our best strategy for doing such so that we could take advantage of it from a hunting aspect?....Would we just turn them loose in the center of our property and hope for the best??.....Would we tie them to a tree and keep them on a rope? How would we go about it??
