Like it or not if you look at all other states game management practices and compare that to Alabama...
We are the Wild West of deer hunting. It is what it is. Georgia is the only close second but they at least have a 13 deer limit or something.
The deer are anywhere in this state, however deer numbers and hunting success is localized for the most part. Depends to a large degree on your habits and the habits of your neighbors. If every time one sticks it's nose out you blow it off, or if your neighbors hunt in this manner you will suffer. But it is legal, so you can't do anything about it. If you are next to some QDMA guys then you'll probably fair better. You'll see more deer for sure. And if you are lucky you can shoot all the 130 inch deer they let walk under their unrealistic dreams of being on the front page of North American Whitetail.
You might need artillery to keep them out of a foodplot on your place. But understand that under the current game laws the guy down the road may have a problem and no deer or very poor hunting....
I don't think people understand that and only think of themselves, the money they are spending and their own opportunity. I truly feel sorry for the guys that have to hunt public land.
