Having grown up in NE Alabama and caught the deer hunting bug early and hunted em HARD in the Jackson County mountains, with a couple seasons where I literally saw ONE deer with a set of antlers (plenty of deer….just not bucks….because grown men killed every single one they saw)……I find the kind of sentiment from the OP being nothing but the equivalent of a Karen woman level of bitching. There are more mature bucks in NE Alabama BY FAR, with me knowing basically nobody anymore in NE Alabama that will shoot a two year old compared to how the slaughter used to be, than anytime in any of our lives, and yet people still worry to death about what the next guy is doing instead of thoroughly enjoying the fact your odds of killing a mature buck are astronomically higher than any other time in your life. The human condition just never ceases to amaze me.
