I am sure some areas in state need it however from my observation I have hunted Lowndes WMA last year and it was totally dead no shooting and very few bucks harvested if any. I am now at Barbour WMA yesterday and today and this morning maybe 4 shots and very few seen by me and my father. No evident rutting activity. There may have been 5 bucks harvested yesterday and it's perfect from tree now and no shots whatsoever and there are a lot of hunters here. I believe 1st main rut is over for this area and in Lowndes. My 2 cents
