Heres my two cents on shootin does around here.. shoot a ga zillion does and you wont see deer for years.. they get nocturnal My in father in law joined a 1200 acre club that guys had given up by a previous group of hunters.. You couldnt buy a deer for 3 years and the deer that did step out would look up directly up after stepping into fields or open woods. Spooky was not even the word. 390 out of 395 trail cam pics woul be at night.I just feel like theres so much pressure all season here in alabama given the whole shoot a ton of does factor can hurt you more than help you. Midwest states are totally different ballgame. Given there state regulations, it seems like those deer are different species after hunting in bama your whole life.I could go on and on but its nothing these guys dont know. Around here sometimes i feel like the more.unpressured does you have the better.. Maybe take out few with bows and not on food plots
