Is it so bad to only be allowed 3 bucks a season ? If I kill 3 good bucks in a season I am beyond happy ! 2 good ones and a scrub and I'm still ecstatic ! Throw in a doe or two for meat and what more could I ask for ? When I was younger I thought I should be pulling the trigger everytime something brown got in front of me. Thank goodness I grew out of all that. Been deer hunting 40 + years now and hunted most areas of our state from North to South. And Alabama has a lot of potential especially if we can get more folks on board in selective harvest.

Yes Mike, I'm right there with you. Real limits on does.Real tagging system. About a 3 or 4 week firearms season. And bump the license up to $100 or so and we would thin some of the hunting herd and you would see a change for the better in our hunting.

If we go back go 10-14 days of doe days I'll sell my stuff and hang it up. I know a bunch of older guys that quit hunting when we went to 3 bucks Well I hope you enjoy fishing as you throw your lollipop in the dirt and walk away.....

Do that and in 20 years no one will be hunting due to expense. Keep in mind hunting is a RIGHT in our state. Just like freedom of speech, just like our cherished guns. If you feel so strongly about deer management I encourage you to work longer hours, pay for a 2,000 acre lease and hunt it only 3 weeks a year. And don't bother the rest of us that are perfectly content actually enjoying deer hunting with our friends and family all winter.

Here's how it went no deer during the daylight but at night in one weeks time I had 567 pics. Warm weather all the rut took place during darkness. One hunter in our lease would kill anything on a greenfield,this quickly educates deer especially if there are other deer on the field. As to reducing doe season go for it I grew up in south alabama when you may have got 3 days of doe season. As for bucks you want bigger bucks 1 per season for 5yr.as Kentucky does. I really think that there are plenty of deer they are just wiser than we are.

I hunt just enough to fill the freezer then I quit. I don't think I picked a rifle up but maybe once after Dec 4th and that was when doe days came in on the forest land
We will burn that bridge when we get there

I'm looking now because I've never had a lease of my own. This past season was the first time I threw in with a buddy on a very small tract. Saw nothing but does on it. Always just asked for rights and went with friends/family but now I desperately want my own tract (or me and a buddy or two) that is close to me. I still see plenty of deer on the places I hunt for free, but I absolutely hate killing deer on places other people have paid for.

If thats insane someone needs to tell that to Ky and Indiana cause with that thinking they evidently shouldnt have any hunters by now if that was the case.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think there's a deer hunter that lives and or hunts in Etowah,St.Clair or Jackson County that's not looking for a new club or lease. I saw more this year than last year. I only saw one little spike last year, but I saw deer every time I went except for 3-4 times this year.

Take a look at the American Indian and compare them to the White tailed deer. Not many Indians roaming the woods these days. Wait a few more years boys and there are not gonna be many deer roaming the woods either. Maybe we should start paying the deer reparations. It worked for the indians in Poarch. There's so many of them now, you can't shake a stick at them.
