I was listening to a recent podcast with Dr. Marcus Lashley. He didn't get into a lot of detail but mentioned that there could be some other environmental conditions other than winter that are affecting the rut timing down South. He mentioned an area in Florida that the rut seemed to correlate to fawns being born at a time that avoids the wet/flooding season.

I could see that being true if it wasn’t for the fact that Florida’s rut varies from August to February depending on which part of Florida you’re in, our wet season for the whole state is from April til October

I don't want to detail this thread too much but, I think his point was that it's possibly different environmental factors in each area. One area the wet season may be the limiting factor, another may be drought, another area may not have a limiting environmental factor so it is similar timing to the rest of the nation, etc.

Look at a rut map of Florida, I live in Zone B. You post and Dr Lashley's hypothesis makes perfect sense to me. I've seen by far the most bucks in the woods in late Jan / early Feb here in the vicinity of Tampa.

Warmed up again, high of 70 today. It’s in the 60s and overcast. They were chasing hard last week so I don’t know wether they will be locked down or still moving. You people with normal ruts, what do they typically look like and how long? I think I read it’s basically a bell curve of does coming in heat. AA47D30C-9C77-4FFB-8329-631D065FA7D6.jpeg
