I think it's very small......start with this.....who on here has killed a deer over 150? This. I know a lot of hunters that hunt different areas of the state and its not common to hear of 150" deer.

Another question would be what percentage of hunting clubs actually have a 150" on them?

Troy topcat and outdoor obsession are a few that can comment and tell you their total over 150 and those dudes have killed some big ones! But I'm saying its still a small percentage.

I hunt in Pike and Crenshaw counties which are not the in the heart of the black belt and I know of 4 in the past 3 years that I put my hands on that broke 150" (gross) including one that was 167", another was 173", one was 159" that had a broken end of a tine and a whopper 151" 8pt.
They are more common than you think in the right areas. I know of 2 more that were in front of game cameras regularly early in the year about 4 miles from my house.

Y'all do realize that if only 100 150" deer were killed per year, that would only be one per county. I bet some counties have 10-20 in a single year. One per county would be 67 not 100.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

It takes time to grow to 150”+. Most folks shoot bucks way before they reach their potential

Agreed, Some area produce every year but I know lots of clubs that have produced 1,2, or 0 in the last 30years

Zero 150" deer killed in Monroe County most years. Maybe a couple 140's a year. 130's are not common either.

I've personally scored an 8 point the grossed 150 5/8 this season, and seen 5 other bucks killed that scored 150 or more just in one county. i also know of places that they kill multiple 150's a year in a completely different county. I don't know that theres anyway to put an accurate assumption on this

All depends on the part of the state. I walked into a processor last year, near where I hunt, and he had 6 deer waiting on the taxidermist that scored between 151 and 170something. That was during the rut, but between the 3 main processors in the area, I’d imagine they take in 25 or more 150+ deer a year.

Here's the deal, he FIELD DRESSED 204 lbs , rack is only LONG beams with HUGE mass, doesn't have a tine over 4". No telling how old he was. Not gonna throw out the number of 150's , but I can tell ya I've only killed one like the 204 pounder.

We value age over scorable points. We just shoot age and we just know what works for us

I killed a 206 pound, 10 point scoring 159 1/2 20 years ago in Sumter county at Epes. He was 8 1/2 years old. We had that 2500 acre private land lease for 18 years, and killed a number of nice bucks, but he was the only one over 150. If we are talking about Dennis Campbell's Alabama Whitetail record book, then for gun it takes 150, but the scoring system there is more liberal than B and C.

What he grew is his score (imho). Gross score is what the deer actually is, the way I see it. A %$#@ "net" score is for people with their underwear on WAYYYYYY too tight. Never understood that. It's not a dang horse or dog show where symmetry makes it any better. Screw that

I could not agree more. I was just making a statement of clarity as to His scoring system.
