What seems to be a pretty constant pattern is that you have groups of counties clustered together behaving the same as each other through time for the most part…..North Alabama and South Alabama almost seem to be operating in two different universes from each other…..constantly opposite of each other in some way…..I think it probably is just that…..There’s enough variables that are different like land use patterns and hunter density that you have different responses to “change” when another common variable is tweaked…..For example baiting being legalized statewide and having slightly different responses occur from it in north and south Alabama…..You almost need to just cut the state in half and analyze each half by itself without much consideration for what’s occurring in the other influencing your thoughts about it….I think north Alabama is on a while different timeline in its response…..Its like the same pattern lagging a year or two behind…..
I’ll say this…..”IF” we end the season with errrbody have a significant increase in the doe numbers…..It think it would be safe to say its very probable that the two per day rule influenced harvest….That’s not likely to happen buuuut…..just sayin if it did……
