Rough year due to work commitments, but I saw a fair amount of deer when I could go. Had a couple of areas on one spot go a little dry, but I attribute that to timber harvest and expect it to bounce back just fine. That doesn't mean I won't be making changes in the off-season though.

A+ for me too. Killed my best bow buck ever and we had plenty of mature deer to hunt. Buddy killed a really good Alabama buck too.

We lost our biggest best hunting spot then picked up another couple of smaller spots. Had no success. We saw plenty of deer. We passed a bunch of 2yo bucks. We learned some stuff about what to do going forward. I really believe we could have killed a couple of good ones but we were learning. Now we know and i think we can do better next year. Not the season we hoped for but we learned some stuff and saw a bunch of deer. About all of the shooters are still alive. Thats a plus

D, let 2 slip by me. The two I had on camera behind the house were killed by my neighbor and a 14 yr. Good for both of them, I just wasn’t there when the bucks were.
I went fishing a lot more this deer season than ever before. Fishing was an A+

Lost count of the 2.5 year old bucks I seen. My 7 year old got her first deer. Only downside is I got hung up hunting 1 deer and didn’t even hunt two of my properties.

Hoping to get another doe or two by Monday.


I did add another doe this afternoon. This season has been great.

First grandchild was due the week before Christmas, but decided to come at 33 weeks. He did well in the NICU for two weeks and is great now. First time hunter killed some does and I killed a mature 9 and a few does. Special hunting partner killed his first racked buck, so it was a great season (may go Monday)

A.... We had a great year considering the neighbors had to cut timber just before season opened. Some of our best deer vanished but, we still managed to have a good year. I was tagged out on bucks by Muzzleloader week and I killed 3 does. Son took a couple of nice bucks as well. Wife took 3 bucks. I haven't gotten around to posting all the pics yet but I will. I don't know how many hunts between the 3 of us? (60 +) I'm sure. Deer were seen on every hunt except last Tuesday PM. There were some stray dogs running around and I believe that was the issue. All and all a good year. Going to get started on some habitat changes as soon as it dries up a little and start preparing for next year.

Looks like a lot of us had a good year. Just curious - what about all those threads of the hunting sucking in bama - all the matures gone due to corn and corn killing everything?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

AL gets a D+ and one of my worst seasons hunting in AL. Did not see deer at my hunting club like I usually see. Nothing I could shoot. Doe sightings down in a major way. I only saw one doe and some button bucks. It gets frustrating fast when you sit and are not seeing deer or seeing deer you can’t shoot. I’m used to seeing lots of deer at my club. I did shoot one of the biggest mature does I’ve ever seen in AL but that was on a friend’s property. My FL season gets a B. Saw deer and killed a couple. Lots of pictures but didn’t kill any big buck so it gets a B. With the hunting better in FL I am seriously considering not hunting in AL anymore. It’s just not worth the expense with nothing to show for after spending thousands of dollars.

Is it really that big of a surprise?....I mean if you put a chunk of liver on a circle hook and sink it to the bottom you can expect to catch some catfish……I just cant believe Chuck’s main homeboy 1bamashooter hasn’t showed up yet with his A++..... wink


Folks that know don't shoot old does........ wink

D.
could have shot some does in late evening, but didn't. Bucks went nocturnal in bow season. Kept up with a couple of shooters on cameras; when they showed, always after legal shooting light.

Sounds like an awesome season! 8 bucks! How many acres you hunting?
