We left at 12:30 pm today from north Alabama headed to Dothan, Al. We have taken I-59 south, I-85 north, and all the way to 431. We are now on our way back to north Alabama at 9:30 pm and we are currently in Pike County and through this whole trip we have only seen one dead deer in the median and NO live deer. I thought surely we would see more deer activity with the rut. In your opinion, what's going on??

Its not the rut. Try back in a month

Alabama removed all of the deer crossing signs from the highways, so the deer don't cross them and get hit anymore.

I drove a total of 58 miles one way and saw about 25 deer.

From my house to my fiancé's house is a total of about 25-30 mins, counted 11 dead deer, one had its head cut off. These are wooded back roads though, not highways.

Georgia gathers info from car accidents caused by death figured someone with knowledgable info might chime in . Thanks hawgwild

I saw two good bucks off why 80 yesterday afternoon.

We just saw a 15 pointer in Jemison, AL with a spike and sever does. My faith in deer has been restored.

I see more coyotes than deer on my early morning (well before daylight) trips.

That deer in Jemison was a monster . The biggest deer I've Ever seen

He must have been standing real still and you must have been close to count him up like that.

Yea we stopped and shined him for about 5 mins with our headlights

Should have just used the Q Beam too . . . . . .wonder what else I could get you to admit to on the interwebs?

Nothing to hide here sister. I rather enjoyed my piss I took while he stood there blinded by the light. Sounds like you've road hunted before . He went on his Merry way we went on ours.

I wonder how many hunters don't know the laws given to us by our state. " Willfully throw or cast the rays of a spotlight, headlight or artificial light from any motor vehicle while the vehicle is on any highway or public road and casting said light on any real property, between the hours of sunset and sunrise."

Most don't .....

It annoys the piss out of me to see people swing their vehicle around and shine a deer in the pasture in front of my house. Even if they don't shoot....it is still disrespectful.....and illegal!

You forgot to spray your vehicle with scent cover

yeah its not real smart to incriminate your self on a public forum
