I'd be far more interested in knowing what percentage of hunters in Alabama kill their limit every year. My guess is that there are some who do (and my further guess would be that they are the ones who are more likely to frequent forums like this one), but the majority of those hunting each year kill 2 or fewer. If my guess is right -- and depending on the numbers -- lowering the limit from 5 to 3 might not make much impact.

P.S. Winston opens April 1, and I think we have a pretty decent population. Comparable to counties to the south, IMHO. Obviously the DCNR thinks otherwise.
