Here we go again...Why don't you just agree with me and get it over with, you'll eventually get there anyway, don't drag out the pain

The tag system does work. Badly needed in Alabama. Based upon what I saw harvested last year would make you sick. Several deer(Buck) that dressed out maybe 18 pounds brought to one processor that I saw from frequent stops on the way home from several daily hunts. Many Alabama hunter are not looking at the big picture and Alabama Wildlife Commssion has no clue of what's required to manage the herd. Alabama been down this road before. I have seen a tag system bring the best out in a hunter. It bring out honesty and responsibility and developes a good hunter unlike what I have seen in Alabama. I thought "if its brown it down" had grown out of the Alabama hunter's blood system but it is worst than ever. If the truth hurts do something about it.

You make some good points. The button bucks killed were a pair. Pissed me off big time. What a sick hunter. Killed for meat. Black man hunting on an elderly lady property. Both could careless about the herd per the processor. The processor knows his cutomers fairly well. These two bucks are just the starters that brings me to the bigger problem. There were many other deer that did not make age 1 1/2. I have been hunting a doe tag system in Florida for 35 years. You have to apply each year but we have never been declined. I started back hunting in Alabama 2006 and you clearly see the herd management problem. My place is next to Fort Rucker. Fort Rucker game manager came to his senses 2012 and made big changes. Too bad that the Alabmam Wildlife Commission are slow readers to see the obvious. Still to many back woods hunters putting presure on the commission. The commission is in the Hope and Change management system. Go to a comission meeting and hear all the non sence from hunters. The big word is "heritage" my family has been in Alabama hunting since before Noah and the stories go on and on. That's a big part of the problem!
