What sector of Alabama has the worst deer shortage, would this effect the wma lands, WMA land seam to have all the rules in place to help the system. What percent of hunters can only hunt WMA land. Versus farm land and clubs. Most areas outside of the WMA cost too much to hunt on. Or land is in clubs control, just wondering how rules help Hunters and the Game population to insure a more stable balance for the state. Deer our mobile, just as the hunters are mobile. Seems unlikely you could keep up with those kind of numbers. Hope this post is better, more gooder..

Gary, I don’t understand your question. Could you clarify what you are asking?

I think it translates to whats the best wma to hunt and how crowded are they vs private land🤷🏻

redid my post thanks

I don’t know how you can talk about balancing anything with a 4 month free for all. WMA especially. People that travel to hunt are less likely to go home empty handed. Just something to think about.

I’ll also add that any percentages of hunter numbers you come up with are based on license sales, which is skewed because people that own their own land don’t have to have a license.

Most folks aren’t in favor of self limitation and require the state to do that for them. If you want to self limit your property, first try and control what your neighbors do.

According to my memory, the vast majority of harvests come from Private land which has the most liberal limits. Public land accounts for a minority of the deer harvest overall.
