There is public hunting land in Coffee, Dale, Geneva, and Covington counties...look at the explosion of kills...hmm.
I bet that does account for some of the increase in those counties but there was a large 1 year increase this season across nearly all the southern counties.......If you remember we had two of the wettest years on record I believe it was 2 and 3 years ago....or maybe it was 3 and 4....I forget........but those two record rain years should have been the hatching years for what just got killed this year.
