Is anyone going to show us some pictures of these 150’s?
NO
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

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

NO Well they’re already dead so why not? I just like seeing the pics 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.

[quote=Remington270]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? Must be using the metric system... 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 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.

NO Well they’re already dead so why not? I just like seeing the pics 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

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
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

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 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.
