RE: Alabama hunters- Is limit really 200 deer?
I have never counted the days in the season to see what the totally yearly bag limit is for deer. In 3/4 of the state of Alabama we can harvest two deer a day (1 buck and 1 doe or 2 does). Bow season began October 15 and gun season began November 20 and continues until January 31. So you do the math with two deer a day from October 15 - January 31 and this will give you the legal bag limit for a season for the majority of Alabama. I know of guys who regularly take 20 plus deer a year but have never personally known anyone who took over 100 in a year. The buck to doe ratio is so out of whack here that it is not even funny. I think eventually we are going to have to go to tags for bucks and only issue 3 or 4 per person and still have a liberal doe harvest to make any real improvements but that is another issue in itself.
