AL can produce, and does produce WAY higher scoring deer than some folks realize. I know of several properties than can and do produce multiple 130-150” deer annually and some even larger than that. But just remove score from the equation. It’s been brought up by several ppl that maybe trophy hunters have unrealistic expectations. I haven’t even mentioned score. I’m simply talking about mature deer in the population. Having a percentage of mature bucks in any population is important for herd health. Score don’t matter. Some populations are lacking deer in the mature age classes entirely, or rarely ever have them.
