NO

and a 140 is a heck of a deer in Alabama, much less one that will go 150.

It takes a good hunter/good shot, great place, right timing, and a handful of 4leaf clovers to kill a 140 in Alabama, mores for a 150

Fact.

Well they’re already dead so why not? I just like seeing the pics

Why not? I'm dying to see a pic of that 162" 8 point.

I’d be afraid to guess a number of 150”+ bucks, but I’ll guarantee there are a lot more than any expected and they never make it to the WWW

I know SEVERAL guys that shoot 140”+ deer just about every year in Bama. Most on private property. Every one of those guys have one thing in common. They don’t post pics. There’s a guy around Auburn that has a trophy room FULL of 140”+ deer. You will never see a picture of what he shoots on here. He does read this site from time to time though.

On our lease a member killed one that grossed 158, great mass and only 12-14" inside spread. I killed a massive 8 with several stickers that grossed 148 near my house. Was 6 or 7 years old, took 3 years to finally kill him. Doubt I'll ever kill a bigger one, but I keep trying. A neighbor killed one a few years ago that we had pictures of. An absolute freak, points all over the place, think it had 17. Don't know if it was ever scored but had to be in the 160s or more. We've had pictures of a few that were probably over 150, but they are few and far between

100/67 = 1.5......In AL if u have 1.5 teeth, that counts as 2 teeth. Guess in MS that’s only one tooth

I’d say at least 200 per year gross 150” in AL

If there are 300, 150” bucks killed in Alabama every year that’s far less than 1% of the buck harvest. There aren’t that many running around. Most mature bucks in Alabama aren’t going to even hit 130”

I've killed 4 or 5 over 130. I'm holding out now for 140's since were out of wall space. Probably the reason I haven't killed a buck in 5 or 6 years. Passed quite a few 130s in that time, but I ain't killing them just to be killing them. One of these days one of those 130s will make it a couple more years and ill be in the right place. I'm lucky in that the places I hunt are not surrounded by brown and downers, all lightly hunted private land

I know of one that green scored over 173 this fall in south Bama. I didn't know there were deer that big in south Bama and I have hunted deer over 50 years. There just aren't a lot of + 150 bucks out there in south Bama.

I know of 7 150” + deer killed between 3 guys in the last 7 yrs in the same county that never made social media or any big buck contest.

If the state average is 1 group of guys like that per county, which is highly likely, then that’s 67 150” bucks under the radar each yr.

Heck I’ve prob seen 40 or more on Facebook this season already and the rut hasn’t even hit in some places.

I’ve seen ALOT of huge racks hung over barn rafters over the past 26 yrs in Alabama that no one will ever know about. I have also put hands on a 168” 8pt killed in the early 90’s in west central Alabama. That’s a confirmed 168”. I’m willing to bet that a few on this site know the taxidermist that mounted it.

Because, then you have to answer a thousand questions about where you killed it. Pretty soon you’ll sound like Saban in a press conference.

Nobody is saying they’re common. People are just saying there are way more than 50 or whatever was guessed earlier.

There are 50 in Montgomery/Macon/bullock I’d guess

And the answer is in the woods, black out the persons face. They can’t kill a dead deer

....says the guy from.....Jasper

I would guess the average/vast majority of 5 year old bucks in AL at least in non ag. areas which is 95% of the state would prob score between 115-125

That deer was a giant, and he was going to skull mount it. He also killed it on the 40 acres the camp sits on where nobody else wants to hunt.
