Lots of talk lately about too liberal of laws on amount of does that can be taken, buck restrictions, etc... Let's keep it simple and take the biologists recommendations out of the equation. If Alabama had the agriculture to support it and could produce deer like some of the mid-west states, on a consistent basis, would you be willing to shorten the season to reduce pressure, give them time to grow, etc...? If so, what would be your ideal season length? No arguing, just a hypothetical question.

I wouldn't shorten the season but would like to go back to a doe season instead of 1 doe per day per hunter.

Wanting answers based on hypotheticals and what ifs doesn't really work. I'd like to see the buck limit removed. As far as the doe killing goes it was preached to do so for so long that people bought into it. I don't think you have to change doe days just let the masses preach number problems the way they have the need for killing does and most will get on board. There is plenty of private land public land, and clubs out there for everyone to find what they are able and wanting to with deer hunting in this state. This can be done without trying to legislate hunting laws so to make others hunt how you want.

Wish it were 1 buck tag issued and buy doe permits at $10 per tag. Makes me sick seeing the grown men dragging up the spikes and young fork horns every day at the processor.

One buck. 2 at most. Instead of "doe days" or doe season limit doe harvest by only issuing so many per hunter. You can take em whenever you want but you can only take 2 or 4 or 6 or whatever it is. Other states do this. Got a region with enough does to support more harvest? Let people buy bonus tags there or get on dmap or whatever.

Be careful. About 3 years ago a guy posted a thread where he and his buddies hammered some young bucks at the WMA in Demopolis and some negative comments were posted. Then the masses attacked the guys that posted negative comments and it got ugly. Basically, we learned as long as it's legal to keep your eyes forward, smile, and say congrats. At least until they are on their 3rd harvest record.

So what if? As long as they killed those deer legally what does it matter to you

I think you missed the question all together. He just wanted opinions. Nobody suggested you change what your doing on your land or to legislate any laws.

Calm down. I'm just telling the story bro. Just preparing 257 for the storm, but from his past posts on here, I think he can handle it.

I agree...maybe two buck tags for me but just sick and tired of passing up young 8s 6s 4s and so on then they walk over the ridge and get blasted...that's why it matters to me cause I just don't see why someone takes pride in shooting a spike that weighs 100 lbs when he could just have easily shot a doe bigger than that and passed on the young buck...but to each his own

There will always be that guy over the ridge.

And, when he kills his 1, 2, 3 etc., his brother will take his spot.

I'd leave it three bucks, 3 does, you can buy two more doe tags.
Cut gun days way back. Go to strict buck tags.The deer population
would increase quick.

Problem is that you are assuming there would be enforcement to a regulation. We really know that won't happen.
