Pretty much.


No but they have supierior genetics compared to our southern deer and the place where wehave beenhunting was about 70 percent corn and soybeans and 30 percent hardwood timber which was loaded with huge acorns. Talk about a deer food paradise. I saw 2 year old bucks that were pushing 200 pounds and we killed does that weighed 150 lbs. A good mature buck in Alabama may only weight 170 lbs. Most of the 2 year old bucks already had racks bigger than the average 4 year old buck down here. Heck, we weren't even in the west central region that is so famous nation wide. Nor have we been hunting some outfitters heavily managed ranch. Just family farms in the southern half of the state. Supposedly where the big buck hunting is the worst in the state.

Of course Alabama's got inferior genetics, you've been able to shoot as many bucks you want the last 40 years. What do you think is going to happen. Now, if people weren't so selfish, that 3 buck limit would have taken place years ago, you probably wouldn't be complaining about little bucks than. Sounds like the DNR in that state should have got its act together. You should be mad at them, not the people who see big bucks.
