I believe it's easier to win lottery without buying a ticket than getting drawn for a soa hunt!

Fred T Stimpson January 23-26. Gotta get myself educated on that one. Stay in Jackson. Your hunt will be pretty much peak rut. Lots of deer, nothing super special rack wise, typical south Bama bucks. A good one there will score 110-120". If you shoot one better than 125", you've really done something to be proud of and you've killed a unicorn.

If I kill a deer, I will be ecstatic.

Anyone know anything about the Frank Jackson State park SOA? Looks like it's small. That's because it is. Thanks for the help.

Do you lose all preference points if you accept a hunt. I got picked for one that I’m thinking is not ideal and wouldn’t want to lose my points for a better hunt next year

I didn’t get drawn this year (only 2 points so no shocker) but my dad got alternate for upper state on 11/7 and 1/30. He accepted the alternative for 1/30, I know that would be prime rut up here, hoping the rut won’t be too far gone by then, way down there.

I think the cut off is 2 weeks. Mrs. Bamaeyedoc had to withdraw last year for health reasons and the guy we spoke to said 2 weeks. She didn’t lose her preference points.

With my preference points at 2, I'm not too optimistic. I got selected for 4 hunts as a Hunter and two as an alternate with 2 preference points. Granted, 4 of those hunts were dog hunts which seems to be relatively easy to get into.

How do the preference points work? I’ve applied every year for a long time and have never been on a hunt and have 2 preference points??? If you only have 2 pref points then you haven't applied every year for a long time. I certainly have. That’s why I have a question about it.

I had issues with my preference points back in 17 for the Gator draw. I called and complained, and be dang ifn i didn't get drawn for 2 places 😄

Hunter for Little River Sate Forrest and alternate for Thigpin Hill. Both gun hunts starting on 1-30 and drawn with 9 preference points. Not sure if I’m going to accept them. Don’t know much about either of them.

If you miss a year your preference points reset I understand that which is why I clearly stated I have not missed a year.
