There are some really good deer and a bunch of scrubby racked deer. I know of 4-5 we have pics of that any Alabama hunter would be proud of. You don't have to walk miles or wait on the ranges to shoot a shore nuff good one, but you do have to hunt smart. If I didn't drive 5 days a week out there, I might hunt them more, but the drive gets old. We're doing things to grow healthier, more mature deer, not necessarily more deer. Numbers are way down from the early 2000's, but the numbers are steady. The coyotes and bobcats are our worst enemies right now. Plus it is becoming more and more compartmentalized with all of the new fences that have been put in over the past few years. Deer breeding peak is the last week of Jan thru the first two weeks of Feb. we have a few that hit it earlier and a few up into March, but the last week of Jan is prime.we are actually trying to shift the season out two weeks but we have to get final approval from the State DCNR and US FWS. Probably won't fly for the WNWR areas, but we may get it for the rest of the place in the future.
