Im all about long seasons and no hassle but the bottom line is you cant have all of the following and expect the hunting experience in Alabama to get better.
1. Basically 4 month season 2. No enforcement of what is being killed.....game check dont help 3. Legalized baiting 4. Open doe season 5. No age or horn restrictions....refer to #2
I dont know how you fix this problem but I personally know of multiple locations where someone has less than 10acres and every time a deer with bone showing above the hairline walks in front of the cell camera they walk out the door and nail it. And a family with a few kids can do this a lot of times and stay legal. As of today....in central alabama the bucks are searching for last minute does and they are also hungry. My cameras tell me that they are goin from one corn pile to the next and covering at least a mile every day and that is data from an 8000acre block. If this was happening in an area where the land is fragmented which it is there would be nothing left....which is the case in a lot of places from what I am hearing.
Our bucks are acting that way. We had an up and coming 3 year old shot this morning by a club member. 🤦🏻♂️ not his first offense. Probably his last year with us.
