It’s amazing to me that most ,if not all, of those in favor of limiting the dates in the season are also those putting out thousands of pounds of corn and blasting deer off their feeder. Corn is the real issue that we are facing. I drive by a house the other day out in the country. In his approximately 1 acre lot he had a feeder 100 feet out his back door. This is happening all over this state.He is killing deer out of his backyard that would have lived before corn was legalized. But because corn makes it easy no one wants to get rid of it.
I know a crap ton of people that feed deer in their back yard and never shoot a single one. They just like feeding deer and seeing deer.
First before anyone can agree on what needs to be done, everyone has to believe there is a problem, and everyone has to agree on what that problem is.
So what is the problem with the current situation in Alabama? I believe it is the age structure of bucks. I also believe the doe harvest rules are too liberal.
So to fix that… 1 buck a year with antler restrictions and 1 doe a year. The days of killing enough deer to feed your family for a year needs to go away.
as some keep saying WE ALL dont have a problem . they cant blanket the whole state for local problems .
