[quote=49er]No, the season is not too long.
If you get tired of hunting, don't go. It's not mandatory.
If you like the way TN does it better, go there. [/quote
Most states have modified their deer seasons in response to population changes and hunter satisfaction surveys (rut timing, see Florida and antler restrictions). I'm not sure why you are against every single possible modification of deer season. If it were up to you we'd have the same season for the next several centuries. Hunting and hunters have changed, deer populations have changed, and science has changed. I'm all for improvements and Alabama may be THE ONLY state i know of where deer hunters in some areas can't hunt the rut. I'd gladly give up a week or two in December to push the season into the first week or two of Feb. I think it's a great idea and i believe we will see that happen within the next five years. Hunters in Florida and other states have asked for changes and have received them. We are the stakeholders of the resource and we should have a voice in how our resources are managed.
