Most places just don't have the genetics to grow deer that some hunters want to kill. We watch these hunting shows and compare our places to northern genetics and huge bucks on social media and are unsatisfied. Truth be told only less than 5% of deer in Alabama have the genetics to grow to be 140" and the odd of them making it to maturity is slim with season length and high grading of young deer. You can only kill the biggest deer on your place and people are spending lots of money so they feel the need shoot young bucks.
