I think it's very small......start with this.....who on here has killed a deer over 150? Good luck!

Y'all do realize that if only 100 150" deer were killed per year, that would only be one per county. I bet some counties have 10-20 in a single year. 67 counties in alabama one per county, am I missing something?

Y'all do realize that if only 100 150" deer were killed per year, that would only be one per county. I bet some counties have 10-20 in a single year. Some counties do probably have 10-20/yr killed but those are the exception and not the norm. There are also a bunch of counties in Alabama that have 0 killed per year for 5-7 year stretches. I can assure you there is not an overabundance of 150" deer in Alabama. A 150" buck is a very special animal and those that have the genetics to reach 150" are few and far between. They have to survive hunters long enough to get to full maturity, they need to be in a situation where they have the proper nutrition to put on the growth, they have to survive coyotes, poachers, EHD, buck fights, cars, the rut and on and on. Throw out all the high fence stuff and all the 130's that people claim are 150's and there are probably 200-250 bucks a year killed in Bama that legitimately score 150". Assuming we kill 250,000 deer in Bama annually, that means that 1/10th of 1 percent of the deer killed in Bama score 150" and I think that's probably about right. Note that there are a lot more than that running around but for some reason, they get a whole lot harder to find and kill once they get old enough to sport that kind of headgear.

Without looking at others responses I would guess at least 500. Having looked at the other's responses and become reasonably swayed by the wisdom of my fellow aldeer'ers, I might be a little high. Maybe closer to 300?

I would say maybe 100 or less. A 150 is a freak of nature. Another thing, many guys see a huge buck and right off the bat its "gotta be at least 150". Seems whenever someone is describing a big buck to me they say "it was at least a 150. Most mature bucks are 8 pt.s and it takes one hell of an 8 to hit 150. I shot an 8 last year that was 23" outside and 20" inside heavy and long mains and tines and it grossed 145". The only 8 I have seen that grossed 150 came from Texas. Most 150 class bucks are gonna be 10 pt.s or better simply due to the addition of scoring two extra points. I think most hunters grossly overestimate buck scores. Saw a guy checking one in at a WMA years ago and several guys were guessing it scored "over 150". Biologist there green measured it and it grossed 127! And that was a huge buck!
Like abolt said, a lot of 130's are called 150's.

My wife, grandson , and I have all killed bucks over 150. Wife first buck scored 151. Grandson killed a 162" eight point couple years ago, and a 127" eight point last year.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Some counties produce 20-30 a year and some zero. I’ve already scored several over 150” this year, all killed within a few miles of each other. No way of knowing but I’m going to guess between 200-300 a year statewide. Could be even more. Not a single one of the ones I’ve seen have been posted on here. More on par with my guesstimate
