Something going on with bucks in the Black Belt....
The hunting in the black belt is starting to suck bigtime. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that there are FAR less total deer here than just a couple years ago. It is insanely obvious to anyone who hunts here consistently like I do
I’ve noticed it too
Some properties with real good habitat have less than ideal populations and buck quality is not good either. I attribute that more to high grading by neighbors than a habitat issue though.
it's why Colorado had to go draw only statewide. massive amount of hunters and not enough resources. this 3 month rifle season in alabama has to go no need to rifle hunt for 3 straight months.
Oh lord, I wouldn't want that. I would actually like to be able to go hunting every year after buying a license
