Was the deer herd more healthy or less healthy prior to the 3 buck limit? Does larger deer herd = healthier herd?


I would say less healthy because the buck/doe ratio seemed to be way off. Extending the breeding season prolongs antler retention which shortens the antler growing season resulting in smaller antlers. I believe this is why Alabama hunting license sales are down. Some people have given up on killing a nice buck in Al. Lets face the fact that most people hunt to harvest a nice set of antlers.
