I have experience on both sides of this deal. I hunted Alabama hard for over 20 years before moving to Oklahoma. There is no comparison. The public land I deer hunt here will put most private land in Alabama to shame. I said most, not all. There is not near the same amount of cover here for deer to hide in and there are thousands of acres in corn and soybean and wheat etc... for the deer to eat and grow big. No doubt the deer here are easier to kill, you find a 50 acre piece of cover you have hit the jack pot. Hunt it with any sense and you will see deer no doubt about it. Alabama, although a great hunting state will never compare with the Midwest states, there are just factors in the Midwest that won't ever be in place in Alabama and I'm not talking about bag limits. That being said, smaller bag limits will naturally produce more deer walking around to grow bigger. The limit is Ok is two bucks period. Most folks let the young ones walk...
