I know I am going to probably take a beating on grammar and punctuation but, I have been reading these forums on aldeer and everyone seems to be very knowledgeable. I have hunted in Autauga county and Elmore county for the last 25 years and have recently started hunting in lowndes county as well. I am no trophy hunter but, I have killed several good bucks over the years. My question is since baiting has become legal why have the body weights of the bucks dropped off by about 20 pounds. The antlers have gotten better but, I used to shoot bucks 175 to 205 pounds and now a mature 8 point and even an 11 point weighed 150 and 160 pounds respectively and I have not seen a buck brought in to any of our camps over 160 pounds. Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
