Don't know what has happened around bankhead but they need to keep it up. There's NO Ag in that area. Some of those deer can live and die and never step foot in a food plot either. Age has a lot to do with some of the giants killed there. Not saying the theory is completely false - but South AL has a gigantic age structure problem. A much, much lower percentage of bucks live long enough to show what they can be, compared to 30 years ago. That's a big, overlooked problem. it ain't age, it ain't nutrition....the state of Alabama imported Michigan deer and released em into that area in the 40's. Northern deer genetics is what makes Bankhead STILL produce outstanding bucks. I know age and nutrition is important, but genetics plays the biggest role in antler potential. Where I hunt you can let them live to 5.5 + years and the average buck will still be in the 100-110" range with the very occasional freak.
