There are 150 inch deer killed all over Jefferson County. I know at least 2-3 groups that just bow hunt around the city here and they shoot stupid big deer and don't tell anyone for obvious reasons. One that I helped find... just over 170 inches 2 years ago on a tract of land near Trussville. You'd crap your pants. Same guy killed one over 150 last year so he's running out of space on his wall. I think that's really interesting... especially since I live in this hell hole and drive 2 hours somewhere, work my ass off and spend tons of money... to watch 110-120 inch deer I am hoping my neighbors don't shoot so it might be 150 next year. But they are good shots apparently.
There is nothing wrong with the deer in Alabama. What's wrong is people think big deer either don't or can't exist. They do and can. The real problem is the age structure of the herd. 110%.
My buddy hunts the property next to the bow club and I’ve helped him drag two good ones out of there. I grew up hunting in lowndes county and it blows my mind how many big deer are around here. I’ve got two that I would probably shoot with a bow that come in my backyard every night.
