It is all about expectations, for the folks on here that have hunted what you would call expectional property in AL they have higher expectations than those that haven't. The vast majority of mature bucks in AL will score somewhere between 100-120 that is just the facts and if you are hunting in AL you should set your expectations accordingly. As far as numbers of deer like there was is parts of this state in the 70's-80's well the state took care of that and those numbers will probably never return on a large scale. If you are hunting in the Midwest the average mature buck will probably scores at least 120-140 and the numbers are good because recruitment is higher due to more available food and the deer are just easier to see. Everything is relative if you have only ever hunted poor ground in AL I could take you hunting in AL and you would think it was outstanding. If you hunted south AL 30 - 40 years ago or the Midwest you could hunt the same ground and think it was awful. For the most part hunting in AL is at best mediocre when compared to anywhere in the Midwest and always will be.
