You should be mad at them, not the people who see big bucks.
I'm not mad at anybody. I hunt in Illinois and see big bucks so if I were mad I guess I would have to be pissed at myself.

Of course Alabama's got inferior genetics, you've been able to shoot as many bucks you want the last 40 years
Bag limits do not set the geneitics of a deer herd. Deer not being allowed to reachtheir full potentialcan be blamed on liberal bag limits but the genetics of our deer herd has been the same for thousands of years. Even the deer that reach 6 or 7 years of age down here pale in comparrison to a buck of equal age in most midwestern states. Heck they pale in comparrison to a 4 year old buck in most of those states.

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.
First, I'm not complaining just stating facts. Second, I don't know anyone (myself included) that routinely kills more than 3 bucks a year down here anyway. Most Alabama land is privately owned or leased. And most private land owners or hunting club leases have long had self imposed rules about which size bucks could be taken and how many. That being the case I would not hold my breath waiting for the new 3 buck limit to transform Alabama into the next Iowa or Illinois if I were you.
