I'm about done messing with deer hunting in Alabama. The last two years, I've spent more hours planting fields/working than in a stand. It takes a lot of time, energy, and money to consistently kill mature deer here, and more often than not, those mature deer will never touch 130".
I'd rather drive 4-8 hours and hunt a place that doesn't have a 3 month gun season and elmer fudd sitting on a corn pile every 20 acres.
Dude you kill bigger deer than the majority of people in the state consistently…I honestly see and don’t see your frustration as you have to see how blessed you are with the ones you do continue to get. It’s like my buddy in Montgomery complains, and I’m like come hunt the places I hunt and I’ll show you tough hunting with minimal deer numbers and max size of a 110” buck at full maturity… just saying.
And yes…out of state hunting is way easier even in Tennessee for consistently giant bucks pushing 130 plus. My friends out of state always kill studs not having to really work for em
