I'm glad someone posted an image that this is about deer hunting.
I was confused as hell with all that hunter lingo.

I read an interesting article about the rut in MS a couple of years back that actually explained it in a way I understood. I've always thought that it doesn't seem to have rhyme or reason from one area of the state to another. 20 miles any direction can be a 3 week difference in the peak in my experience.
Apparently, that's related to the repopulation efforts here in the early 1900s. Deer were brought in from all over the country, where they had hit estrous at wildly different times and this is apparently a slowly evolving genetic trait, and given the small home range of the does, it's been slow to homogenize. So, you might have an Illinois timetable with one herd -- and a Texas timetable with the next -- in counties side by side.

What do you think about deer hunting in general Hump?
I'm not a hunter. Been twice and froze my *** off and didn't see a thing. I do enjoy shooting, however.
Are you for population control like the NY officials as in capturing and neutering deer?

It's something I've never been interested in. Glad we have folks that do though
as the population control aspect of deer hunting is very important. I won't go out of my way to eat venison either, but I certainly won't turn it down.

Things sure have changed in deer population since I was a kid and the Wildlife Research at MSU had a lot to do with it.

My dad killed a buck back in the early 80s around Lake Cormorant that weighed 375 pounds. Massive deer.
This 17pt is approaching record status...

I think the other buck came from a slither of woods surrounded by Tara.
