Probably did happen occasionally.  Does anyone have any idea if Medieval
peoples observed any such thing as hunting an animal in it's season?  I know
the country folks I know would not think of killing rabbits, squirrels, or
other small furry things during spring or summer.
Both my Grandfather, who lived in Alabama all his life, and both of my
fathers-in-law who lived in South Carolina called this "wolf season," and said
eating squirrels or rabbits at this time of year could kill you or make you
mad.

By the way, even though I had two fathers-in-law, I only had one husband.
It's another Southern Family thing.
