We just gotta tighten up and shoot more does. I'm sure it's down by 23% cause alabama hunters have gotten too lazy to shoot deer. Yeah, that's gotta be it.
In my case, that's actually true. I could kill a train load of deer every season but I just don't like to work that hard.
Me either, I got some boy that love killing stuff, so I let them do it.
But thinking about it could it actually be hunters just don't kill as many. On my place we have 6 of us that have hunted together for 20+ years. 15 years ago all 6 of us would shoot anything with 8 points. In the last 3 years, the 6 of us have probably on killed 10 bucks. Not because of not seeing anything, we are just more selective about what we shoot. Could that actually be some of the decline? There's 3-4 deer we have on camera this year that I know I would shoot. If I don't see them unless it's just some random buck that comes through I won't kill a buck.
