Thanks for adding more clarity, yote.
Don't know if it's aldeer or the heat from raking grass, but my head is beginning to hurt...
It's not the raking. As I said before we as hunters are more concerned with our hunting area, MYSELF INCLUDED. But what I see and my goals are different from hunter X in Lamar county which is both different from what hunter Y sees an his goals in Mobile. Now, YOU (the Conservation Dept) has to make everyone happy. AIN'T HAPPENING!!! But I will say the average Alabama hunter put his gun up the last day of season. Not really concerned about the deer herd or health. Won't go back to their hunting property until shortly before season. Will shoot their rifle only the weekend before opening weekend.
This group on Aldeer is not the average Alabama hunters. All think about it through the summer and at least visit their hunting property through the summer. They know their properties better than anyone. And they are very opinionated and passionate on what they have observed, even though it varies by site. WE...WE stand behind what we have seen for years and years on the same property.
THIS WILL BE THE TOUGHEST GROUP YOU FACE BUT ALSO THE MOST CONCERNED FOR THE DEER!! THIS AIN'T YOUR AVERAGE HUNTERS.
