Yeah probably a combination of both , that's what kills me all the bitching complaining, frustration, about deer numbers everywhere, and we have liberal doe harvest , along with the most pesky varnit around taking out probably just as many deer statewide as hunters . Seems like we could promote trapping and hunting of yotes in some way. If there not going to do anything or make any changes the state needs to do more to educate people on wildlife managment . there are way to many uneducated hunters on this subect.
I hold the state 100% responsible for the slaughter of the deer herd. We the hunters (people) have entrusted them with the management of our deer herd, they have failed us miserably. The deer herd will never recover under the current limits, it will decline year by year. If you don't control a few thousand acres you're pretty much out of good hunting opportunities at this time, the state will determine the future of hunting in Alabama and that's a fact. Hopefully, they wake up soon.
