I live within 10 mins of Choccolocco WMA and hunt there some (basically when it's the only option I have). I won't go so far as to say it horrible, but it's just extremely low odds. I suspect Bankhead is similar, and probably for the same reasons. Chocco is 57,000 acres of mostly large, mature, steep hardwoods. Frankly, that SUCKS for deer, almost never will have a high density in that type cover/terrain. There has been some good timber activity here in recent years, so I think it will help. Other than that, I don't think doe restrictions or antler restrictions will have barely any effect....it's like saying, "please don't shoot the handful of does and small bucks we DO have." They'd either have to import a trainload of deer to immediately boost the density, and/or make half the place clearcut to give them what they really want/need. I'd rather have 1 acre of cutover than 100 acres of hardwoods.

We were on the edge of Eternia, when the power of Greyskull began to take hold.
