Hi John,
Best wishes for a good season for you. I am such a rookie at this, and for lack of any knowledge from all that I have read, I stopped feeding everybody about mid Nov. Then they went down about the 1st of Dec. My knobs and some of my Thayeri stopped feeding on their own in Sept, so they went down then. I plan to wake eveybody up after the 1st of March. I wake everybody up at once, but I try to keep the males cooler than the females.
Have a good winter down there.
Jeff
