Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Serious Deer Talk Forum What Can We Do As Hunters In Alabama To Make Our State a Trophy Whitetail State

Good advice. Instead of clear cutting a 50 acre pine
plantation area that was situated in the middle of a property
that was at full maturity I cut it out to create a quail plantation habitat ( left pine trees spaced out 15-20 yards
apart) and burned it two years ago.

I also clear cut 10 acreas of it to get it converted to plantable
soybean fields. Still dealing with the stumps so I am not
there yet for that 10 acres but hopefully will be next year.
Gonna cut out another 5 acres of it this year for the same
purpose.

Edit: a good side benefit of doing this is consolidating
and compressing travel routes.

Mods...If ya'll don't mind, nobody wants to read this childish crap in the serious forum.

I agree is there not someone that can put an end to this nonsense.

Any time now......

I'm not reading through all the posts. But:

1. Be careful what you ask for.
2. Don't bitch if you get what you ask for and your lease doubles or more.
3. Best be quiet and do the obvious...

shoot all the little bucks and all that will be left is big ones problem solved.

I didn't read all the posts but Bama will never be an IL, MO, KS, NE, KY, WI, parts of MS, etc... Sure, we'll produce some high-scoring bucks but not like other states.

I'm not for legislation whose main purpose is "trophy" bucks but rather make laws that promotes a "healthy" deer herd.

On average, we don't have the agriculture or the soil to do what you're trying to do. Educate yourself and manage accordingly.
