AUstan23 do you have any pictures of that 9 point?

Tuskegee has a faceybook page and everybody has been posting bucks on it. There were several bucks last year killed out there. Anybody seen this?

No. He had a tall rack with short tines but he was a grown ass man.

Like I said. No matter where you hunt, see for yourself. There's not many 4 year old bucks but they're there in pockets.

Congrats on your success out there but you didn’t answer the OP’s question either. He asked if there was any public pressure on the national forest yet? That’s why I was sarcastic in my first response because asking if a piece of public land is pressured in Alabama is like asking if a fat kid likes cake. I assume if gets pressured pretty heavily but you know it better than anybody so answer the man 😀

I stated everything else everyone was saying was not true including the pressure regardless of time of year. Even if a piece is heavily pressured, doesn't mean you can't kill deer there. You know that just as well as I do if you're killing all those bucks on public. Do you honestly think anyone is going to give a straight answer on here? According to every forum I've followed you'd think there are 5 trucks at every gate every day of the week in every state. Of course that is on purpose to discourage people. That's why I say I don't care so much about asking. I look for myself and take every piece of info with a grain of salt. If you listened to every frat boy at AU then you'd think that there were no deer out there.

Tuskegee always has something going on so yes it is pressured heavily. It's not as bad as people think though. Hunters aren't stacked on top of each other but these deer are very much aware of our presence there. All my deer except one came out of there last year. I've only seen 3 total in there this year. But some guys have killed nice bucks from there this year

I grew up in Auburn and still live here. Everything that has been said can be the case. I’ve killed deer out there, I’ve had my truck broke into, Ive walked up into someones pot garden out there, and have had several trucks parked at gates, and my buddy had all four tires punctured one time when we went out to bike bartram. So, everything that has been stated can be, and often is, the case. Go during the week and later in the season, and you may not see anyone else. As AU said, you can kill deer. You just have to scout it. It isn’t any worse than any other public area. My biggest complaint was always someone hiking, camping, or doing some other non-hunting activity that would mess me up. It didn’t happen often and they had as much right to be there as me. I learned to stay away from certain areas fairly quickly.
