Thanks to SkiTar's new two-prong regulation, we can hunt at night with lights with corn anytime of the year.

BAITING!

That's funny! What the heck would not killing deer under 165lbs accomplish?? Nothing but a few older bucks and a lot of young hunters losing interest. Adults too I guess. A buck is a buck to some hunters. There's a state limit and that should be enforced, not a bunch of added on rules for certain folk.

Clem ,,,, and these are the people that will be deciding things in a few years when us older guys are gone .

i think some wouldn't know deer management if it walk up and slapped them cross eyed .

Hey, just make sure your bucks weigh 165 pounds.

I would love to know the age of these management geniuses.

Yup

im flabbergasted at some of the BS I've seen on the last couple pages.

Legalizing baiting and taxing a feeder? Non hunting communist dribble. Go hunt some woods and you don't need bait. Of couse that may be too hard for some.

Stamps on different types of hunting in Alabama? Now I know how 0 Bama won two elections.


People will get fed up with the type of horse fodder you guys are talking about. And they will quit.......participating in the government hoop jump y'all seem to want so much. Then the DCNR will be really broke and we will be like all the liberal pansy states.

When government regs make people outlaws............they may start acting like them.

Yelk and Ski, y'all need to put down the crack pipes.
If you think a tag to generate more revenue would actually be used for wildlife, you are more fracked up than a football bat.

BP oil spill money, enough said....State politicians - look at all of this money. Let's rebuild the state mansion at the gulf or build a bridge in Florence.
Local residents - think she might want to save for possible damage found 5 years down the road????

49'r would have worn out his copy/paste button by now if he were here..

Anybody who thinks the state or federal government needs more control over anything is out of touch with reality.

I guess we will have to install scales in our food plots and have them walk across them before we shoot......

I said limited gov . Lmao.. How much would the fine be fir shooting a 164 pound 15 oz buck

I did it. I thought the questions on population issues should have been in a rating order not just one and done.

I filled out my survey and voted for physical check locations. If I have to do this stupid chit, I hope all you folks that want it have to haul your deer to a physical check station.

This place has been overrun by a full blown case of retard!!!!!
Hell, yall gonna mess around and make an outlaw outa me yet...

I never said anything about additional money collected by the state for tags. The license fee could be raised by a couple of dollars, just enough to cover the production costs of the tags. I'm certainly not suggesting that tags should be a new revenue source for the state. My only interest in the tags is to make it SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult for OUTLAW, CRIMINAL, POACHERS to exceed the limit.


I know that my suggestions of regulations doesn't sit well with the "if its brown, its down" blood thirsty meat killers out there but how else do we stop the madness going on right now in this state. An overwhelming majority of hunters, in this state (not on this site) are responsible hunters who are only interested harvesting MATURE bucks and maybe one or two does for the freezer.

Where did that data come from? I think the majority of hunters would like a better hunting experience altogether without a bunch of regulations. That's pretty simple to accomplish. Limit doe harvest and tag each deer you kill. Get rid of the rest of the jargon. Some people overthink simple problems.

OK so you got me, I wouldn't be in favor of changing the season very much and I wouldn't be for hunting at night simply because its unsafe. But other than that I wouldn't really give a crap how you killed them. Over a pile of corn, standing under a feeder or hell you could shoot them with their damn head in a feeding trough for all I care but once you have killed a doe and three MATURE bucks you are done. My only goal is to limit the quantity taken by some of the friggin meat killers and raise the quality taken by everyone. The all out slaughter of does and young immature bucks has got to slow down if there is going to be any hope of improving the quality of hunting in this state for everyone. Also the reason I would suggest a weight system for bucks is because maturity level is not necessarily the same thing a rack size. Not all mature bucks have a great rack and not all small bucks have a small rack. But there is no way of knowing if a buck is ever going to be great if you shoot his ass when he is a 2.5 year old, 140 lb. 4 point. Why is it too much to ask that everyone wait until a buck is at the very least 3.5 - 4.5 to shoot him? Most of the HUNTERS I know would let a 150 lb basket rack 8 point walk if they thought it stood a good chance to make it to next year but more often than not those deer get shot because the HUNTERS know that if they let it walk it is likely that some dipshit next door will shoot it.

I'll hold the light for you!

Poachers gonna poach... If not for meat, it's just for the hell of it and a set of horns. I've spent 18 years living and hunting in states with a tag system and they do nothing to prevent poaching. The key to poaching in my opinion, is get the guys that are career poachers and make a serious example out of them with jail time and fines. There's a known poacher here and he still poaches. Bull elk with a gun in friggin archery season. Hope I see him do it, $500 when I turn him in. I already know one guy that made $500 off his sorry ass. He should be in jail.

Glad you're not in charge and never will be in charge and what you're wanting will never be something the state or majority of hunters do.
