I think it does have a lot to do with the general area also as well as pressure. I like many up in the top right corner hunt large tracts of hardwoods . Many up here hunt areas where deer never see an ag field and few people. I can't say much about deer in other areas of Alabama but I suspect as far as mature bucks , they operate similar to ours. In my mind mature is 4YO+ . Hunting big woods deer you won't consistently kill mature bucks in plots or with their head in a corn pile.
