I would hope most people would have enough common sense to know if the deer herd on their hunting property can stand a doe harvest. In our club we took of our biggest tracts this and had no does allowed on it, just based on common sense observations.
On the broad scale it doesn't work that way especially in north AL. I really wish it did. Landowners/hunters don't cooperate with each other enough in this state. If they did things might be different.
Tell me if I'm wrong on this theory...
Your better deer hunting is in counties with lower overall populations of people and within that a higher percentage of blacks who don't deer hunt for various reasons. Typically those counties have larger tracts of land and various tracts are private and are in clubs. A lot money put into management for the weekend warriors, and some well run clubs. etc.
In the rest of the state dominated more by populations of whites (mostly trash) on smaller tracts of land, well.... everyone hunts on their 40 acres and blasts deer. So the hunting isn't as good IMO. Not because there aren't deer there, but because Billy Bob's next to you is shooting 20 deer and when he runs out of freezer space and excuses he's feeding 1/2 his church to justify the continual slaughter. You get into North of Birmingham Alabama and East Alabama that's more of what you see. As opposed to west and South Alabama.
I've about decided after hunting all over this state for 40 years that's my observation.
