Do you think
That it may be because the deer hunters have become very good (or very numerous) at hunting the rut? And that the killing of the rutters in January would tend to leave the ones that rut in February? And that if you hunt in February, that you may cause a further shifting of the rut towards late February and March?
The deer shooters continue to press for a February deer season. Oh, not all of February, just a couple of weeks...at least not yet.
Deer hunting will be the ruination of hunting in Alabama and elsewhere as the blood sports become the province of the wealthy and privileged.
pg 95 calls for a study to extend the deer season into February
Your say
