Alabama will never be a good game managed state. It’s the culture in this state. Folks just want to kill everything. People in this state aren’t happy for others when they kill a big one, instead it’s like it’s not possible for anyone else to shoot a big one so they’re offended. Then try and get some help learning to hunt, good luck with that. It’s an every man for himself attitude. And that’s just describing the law abiding hunters which I would estimate account for 25% of people who actually kill deer. The rest are trespassing poaching outlaws who don’t respect anything, not even their own. Guess what, if you don’t game check you’re an outlaw. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what’s coming….. “who do you hunt around?” Or “I’ve never done X”. Sorry but ain’t nobody changing my mind on this because I’ve seen it with my own eyes, year after year since I’ve started hunting. It’s going to require a generation or two dying off before anything changes for the better in this state.
I hate that is what you have had to hunt around. I don’t think I’ve ever hunted or been friends with anyone like that. Not the outlaw part but all the rest.
