dont listen to blood trail.. there have been some Monster deer killed out of Alabama.. you just have to find the right spot.. they are not nearly as common But they are here.. if you read in all your magazines.. Alabama is one of the top 5-8 states to hunt in for Whitetail.. we have one of the largest populations.. one negative thing is that our rut is not strong at all.. because the doe/buck ratio is so high..its no Alberta or Iowa deer but its not as expensive either.. besides.. you' ll get to enjoy the " southern hospitatilty"
