Too many people want to make sure they control everyone else.The problem is that you think your neighbor is killing your deer. I've got news for you. They ain't your deer! +1000 Here's my problem with that statement. I manage my 40 acres for deer and turkeys. Summer and winter plots, fertilize browse, burn and supplemental feed. I have a lot of smaller acreage neighbors too that do nothing but put out a feeder and will shoot whatever walks by. I'm doing my part and my property and population has dramatically increased. It doesn't take long for small land holders to wipe out a deer population if they all shoot 3-4 does a year. I have been in a club with 5,000 acres that had all but wiped out the deer on the property and several other people on here can vouch for that as well. It's not to control the ones who actually have self control and want to do what's best for the herd. But the ones who don't give a damn and kill everything that walks by need to be regulated. You manage 40 acres, now that's a helluva management you got goin there. I am pretty sure he owns that 40 acres. There is a tremendous amount can be done on small properties that can be productive. I have found sometimes hunting 40 acres by yourself can be better than hunting 1000 acres with 5 people. Also, people that own the property tend to spend more time and money to improve the health of the game within their limits. He will be more proud of a deer taken here. The bottom line is it's his, he's proud of that as he should be, and he can pass it on. Small properties are the future in Alabama and he will be ahead. I get all that, but you can't base an entire state's management program on what someone sees or doesn't see on their 40, or 80, or 120, etc acres. No but you can base he management for zones according to what is going on in them. In zones with large land tracts and fewer people there would obviously be less restrictions than ion heavily populated zones. As you say you can't manage the whole state for the small landowners and you dang sure can't do it for the areas with large tracts of land with lower human populations. We need a zone management system for this state. There is no one size fits all plan that will work for this whole state.
