W I can get behind some of this. But some of y’all have prime hunting land and can hunt any day of the season you please...
I use to hunt a very nice place and could grow some giants with the right group of people.. but a lot of folks are weekend warriors, and have to work a 5-6 day a week job and aren’t gonna pay 2000$ a year to not pull the trigger for years... Sure everyone wants to kill a giant but when your time is limited and you don’t have exceptional hunting property like others, it’s hard to get behind only killing 5yo bucks...
I now hunt 3200 acres close to home, you may sit 5-6 sits before you even see a deer, that’s not because people kill a lot of deer either. It’s because there’s just not many deer in this area, and it’s hard hunting. We Decided to only take 10 does for the entire lease, first come first serve basis, and a 6pt min restriction... If you only hunt the green fields, you more than likely ain’t gonna see any deer for many and many sits. A 150+” deer is killed on the land probably once every 5 years and that’s great but with high members and low deer density, the younger bucks are just getting killed, because people want meat and aren’t gonna wait on something that just ain’t gonna happen on this land
But I think it all has to do with the potential of the property. Some hold great potential and others not so much Hat I wonder about folks who start out saying they dont have many or enough deer and end saying how many does they will kill this year. That dont make a lick of sense. Those 10 deer will equal as many as 30 deer next year, that 30 could be 90 year after next. Kill coyotes and undesirable bucks for two years and see what happens.

Several years ago myself and some buddies killed a 150” and it took 5 of us to get it done. All you have to do is add all of these bucks together 😂 ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/qWOLow4.jpg)

I take 2 doe a year on my 20 acres and it's hard for me to harvest a basket rack but will let a youngin have choice. I enjoy the hunting experience like watching two fawns at play and what doesn't make sense to me is a grown man that wants to kill a trophy but will shoot every basket rack he sees. If you are not seeing deer (no joy in that) find another place to hunt.

Must be a lot of hungry people on here or they can't find their way to the grocery store We try not to eat grocery store meat. Full of hormones, antibiotics, and other weird crap. With my results this season, we won't eat any red meat from the store in 2019 I am fortunate enough to have lots of hunt opportunities in multiple states. I don't shoot the babies, but will occasionally, depending on the location, take a 3 year old buck. Does, if I shoot one, are always old deer. I have shot 1 buck that was 3 years old in recent years. It was a club rules legal deer at a club in SC, and I had never killed a SC deer.

We hunt because we enjoy it. We don't shoot the hell outa the deer on our place but if we see a buck we like we shoot it. For some of the guys that hunt with us, that 100" 8pt may be the biggest buck they have ever killed and to them it's the trophy of a lifetime. To me that's what it's all about. I have no problem waiting for a mature deer but I'm not going to ask someone who has never killed a nice buck to not shoot it and wait for an older deer. There's enough stress with my 2 jobs, I try to keep stress out of my deer hunting. We keep it fun but that's just us. Agree with this post. Well said.

Must be a lot of hungry people on here or they can't find their way to the grocery store What does a grocery store have to do with whether a buck is a 3yr or 4yr old? Or whether we shoot a small buck or doe for meat? I can tell you for me, all the deer we kill, usually 3 or 4 depending on size gets completely deboned and made into sausage and burger. I ain't buying no sausage from any store and ain't real keen on meats from a store. I kinda like to know where it came from and how it was handled. That's why I try to buy as much from local farmers and butchers I've known a long time. Same with seafood, if I don't catch it, I buy from very close friends. Call me crazy but it's just the way it is.

Must be a lot of hungry people on here or they can't find their way to the grocery store I have always been upfront with anyone hunting with me. If they are wanting to fill their freezer with deer meat then they need to go hunt somewhere else. It is as simple as that and that way nobody gets bent out of shape after the fact.

I had no idea there were so many pioneers, hillbillies and off the gridders on here living off the land. I like to eat venison but don't depend on it. Maybe I need to quit passing on these deer I see about every time I go and donate them to Hunters for the Hungry so y'alls younguns don't go hungry
I imagine there's a bunch of us here that could eat filet mignon every day with what we spend on leases, equipment, diesel fuel, spring, summer, fall planting, etc. I hunt because I enjoy the whole process not for something to eat. Last thing I want to do,is turn it into a job or a necessity. To each his own

And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s your club your rules but there is something wrong with trying to dictate what people around the state shoot or don’t shoot based on your preferences. It’s not like your saying people should just shoot big mature bucks and by beef from the grocery store. You’re just saying you don’t want people shooting does or young bucks on your property

Maybe I need to quit passing on these deer I see about every time I go and donate them to Hunters for the Hungry so y'alls younguns don't go hungry It’s not that I depend on Venison to live it’s that I like to eat Venison. And I like to shoot deer is there anything wrong with that? I’m not on impacting your power line food plot where you see 30-40 deer a sit by shooting a mediocre buck every now and then. Why can’t you just let us be happy with our mediocre bucks? You still have the option to give them a pass and brag about it to all of us on here. I mean if everyone on here shot nothing but 4 year old deer you would no longer be the superior hunter that you are. You are clearly better than everyone on this site so why do you insist that all of us dumb @ss amateurs try to be like you? Just enjoy being better than everyone else. And then when I or someone else post a picture of a nice 3 year old 8 point you can show it to your buddies and brag about how you would of just watched it walk under your stand. And then when you do kill a giant 150” 4 year old I’ll still congratulate you.

That pic was from January 2009. We tent camped for 3 days on some property on the pike/ Crenshaw line and one of those spikes was my first buck. It was an awesome trip. We hunted in the morning, met back at camp and cooked a big country boy breakfast and then went back out in the afternoon. In the evenings we skinned and quartered deer around the camp fire, drank some cold beer and told stories. Sometimes, most of the time for me. it’s not about the inches of antler but the experience.

I’m telling you.. there’s not the same amount of deer on all properties, I’ve hunted some property I could get behind on this, and it’s the same for a lot across the state... I think the only eeeason for the 10 is for youth weekend truthfully. We have 3200 acres of pines in West Jefferson county. And it’s just not the same as 3200 acres anywhere in Fayette or Lamar so you can’t expect everyone across the state to follow suite to only kill old deer... and not every deer is gonna grow to be a 150” deer y’all have truly lost it, if y’all think that....

Last thing I want to do,is turn it into a job or a necessity. To each his own My 2 kids and I hunt because we love being out in the woods. We also love working the ground and planting plots and everything that goes along with the hunt. I really have no idea what I spend on deer hunting at home or everything to do with our place in Alabama. As long as my family is not doing without we are gonna keep on doing what we love. We work on our hunting areas all year long so we can kill the few deer we need to make our sausage because we love making and eating the sausage. Also my kids look forward to making the sausage because it just like a big ole party and a good time had by all. You can't put a price on that. If the kids kill a couple deer it really makes it worth all we do. And if the kids kill a couple deer, it gives me more time to be the kitchen bitch at the camp. Which is another thing I love doing. I love cooking for everyone as no matter who is at the camp we eat as one big family. you come to our camp, you are part of the family.
