I think it's very small......start with this.....who on here has killed a deer over 150? This. I know a lot of hunters that hunt different areas of the state and its not common to hear of 150" deer.

Another question would be what percentage of hunting clubs actually have a 150" on them? There are tens of thousands of private acres in the state with many, many 150" deer. They may not be hunting clubs (and probably aren't), but there are places specifically managed for this.

It takes time to grow to 150”+. Most folks shoot bucks way before they reach their potential

Agreed, Some area produce every year but I know lots of clubs that have produced 1,2, or 0 in the last 30years

I've personally scored an 8 point the grossed 150 5/8 this season, and seen 5 other bucks killed that scored 150 or more just in one county. i also know of places that they kill multiple 150's a year in a completely different county. I don't know that theres anyway to put an accurate assumption on this

I think it's very small......start with this.....who on here has killed a deer over 150? One of my favs I shot opening day two years ago, prolly won't score 125". Here's the deal, he FIELD DRESSED 204 lbs , rack is only LONG beams with HUGE mass, doesn't have a tine over 4". No telling how old he was. Not gonna throw out the number of 150's , but I can tell ya I've only killed one like the 204 pounder.

I hunt in Pike and Crenshaw counties which are not the in the heart of the black belt and I know of 4 in the past 3 years that I put my hands on that broke 150" (gross) including one that was 167", another was 173", one was 159" that had a broken end of a tine and a whopper 151" 8pt.
They are more common than you think in the right areas. I know of 2 more that were in front of game cameras regularly early in the year about 4 miles from my house. C'mon man. Stick with the script. "There are no good bucks in Crenshaw County. Repeat. No good bucks in Crenshaw County. Nothing to see here. Move along."

If we are talking about Dennis Campbell's Alabama Whitetail record book, then for gun it takes 150, but the scoring system there is more liberal than B and C. As it should be. What he grew is his score (imho). Gross score is what the deer actually is, the way I see it. A %$#@ "net" score is for people with their underwear on WAYYYYYY too tight. Never understood that. It's not a dang horse or dog show where symmetry makes it any better. Screw that
