I agree with you to some extent, but we do not have the overall quality a lot of the states you are referring to because of ag crops (Not saying there are not some really good deer running around, just not the quantity of them some other states enjoy). People just don't want to go 4 or 5 years without killing a buck. the majority of places people hunt in Alabama the regular guy could wait a lifetime to kill a 140 inch 4.5 year old buck, that being said I am sure the argument would be if one generation could sacrifice it then there would be a lot more of them. I just don't think Alabama is comparable to a lot of other states as far as killing only mature bucks.
