if you own the property you should not have to pay shucks to the state to hunt on it.

no license on land you own. Over 26 years I wrote only a small number of folks for no license, I "think" most folks do actually buy a license to hunt. Fishing is another matter....

Thought - if you own the land - no license and that dont matter if you from
Jupiter - but i can find out if you want me to

That’s only if you are an Alabama resident correct? Me being a FL resident, and owning property in Al I still have to purchase a license to hunt my land in Al?

I’m from out of state FL and maybe get up once or twice a year for a total of 2 weeks or so to hunt my club because of the distance. We have several South and Central Florida members and we all get along with our AL member brothers who are like extended family. We all kill deer and all get along. As far as killing too many deer our 2 problem children are local AL with more than a dozen cameras out that feel they have to kill their limit of deer like it’s a killing competition. Even our AL members are not happy with them. Most of the FL folks killed 1 or 2 does and 2 of us were fortunate enough to kill 1 nice buck each. Some killed nothing. We’re not up enough to hurt our club’s deer population. Thankfully our AL members are not like CNC. They know we drive long distance, have limited time, pay a lot of money on licenses and lease costs and want us to take some meat back. I pay a lot of money to kill anywhere from 0-3 deer a year in AL and spend a lot of money in local stores and restaurants and at the processor. We help your local businesses but I certainly wouldn’t spend $1400 for a nonresident license to hunt AL or buy a license if restricted to a certain number of deer because I’m nonresident. That’s stupid and bs. Stop blaming out of state for your lower deer numbers and look at your locals who hunt every day or week. Out of state hunters aren’t going to have the time to kill enough deer to hurt your numbers but they will help your local economy.

Poachers and night hunting scumbags probably kill a many deer as get reported on Game Check.

Spending money and effort to severely punish outlaw hunters will have a much more positive effect on our deer hunting. Raise fines for these Azzholes to make it hurt and use these funds instead of harassing law abiding hunters with more regulations.

Y'all can make it about emotion if you want to but at the end of the day its about math.......Add 40K hunters and it makes a difference in the total amount of deer that get killed......If too many bucks are getting killed then something has to give somewhere.....

CNC, I find it funny you think out of state deer hunters are an issue in alabama. You dont even know how many of those out of state license owners actually deer hunted or how many they killed. If you are going to say you arent emotional and it is all numbers driven then contact DNR and get the game check numbers to at least have some data (as flawed as it may be).

If you look at my original post all I asked was……”Shouldn’t there be a limit as to how many?”……Do you just let in however many want to hunt here as Atlanta and Florida continue to grow even if there stops being enough deer to go around? We can debate back and forth over whether or not the herd is decreasing……but for chits and giggles lets just assume for a minute that I’m right and its indeed decreasing…….Where are you going to make your cuts in the next 5 years??......Are you going to cut bag limits?

All 40k are out of state hunters?

Is there somewhere you can find this information year by year?

I have no idea which is why I’m asking. Wasn’t sure if it was the total of new hunters or you were saying that many new NR hunters.
