NO.
IMO, the buck limits as they are now are fine. Enforcement is the issue. Give a man three tags and let him put them on whatever bucks he chooses.

I just asked a question jack ass, and I do have two VERY large tracts of land leased that I manage, and a room full of monster bucks, and I don't watch the Outdoor channel. There are gonna be exceptions to every rule, but I'd be willing to bet that for every mature six pointer that doesn't get shot, there are a thousand 1-1/2 year old spikes and four pointers shot yearly.


And there will be a thousand more to replace them next year.

No! I hunt for many other reasons than just antlers.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

You would still have everyone shooting whatever anyways won't matter to everyone. Mississippi implemented some type of tack rule and it seems to be working for them . You can ask 1,000 people get 1,000 reasons best thing is to get a grouo of folks with same ideas and lease land only way in Alabama it would work

Gosh, the word no just doesn't encompass the passion of negative resentment that I feel about that question. You sound like a socialist that has yours and doesn't want anyone else to have theirs. Additionally, we have more than enough regulations on hunting as it is. You sound like a democrat chanting, "more government, more goverment". Please notice that I did not actually call you any of those horrible names, I simply stated what you came across as. (Yes this is all sarcasm)

I think from the responses so far you can get a general idea of how a vote would go on this issue.

This thread is about to blow up into a 10 pager. The name calling has already started.

I think the 3 buck limit is letting a lot of younger bucks get older that is what makes a trophy.

No, a butterball 6 point eats as good as any doe & there's a lot more meat to butcher. Besides, we are already ruled & regulated to death.

TV, Magazines, and the Internet have tried to change what hunting is all about. Marketing campaigns have pushed that we need bigger deer and we need to let every buck that we are not positive is a 5 yr old walk to grow another year. Then they can sell more rack growing formulas and other products to help us grow bigger deer. Meanwhile, each time one of these monster bucks gets killed our lease price goes up a little more. I personally don't shoot small bucks bilut that's a personal choice. I don't want some govornment official telling me what I can and can't shoot. It's funny how many people want to implement rules to let deer get bigger but then they get jelous if someone else shoots those bigger deer.

Point system don't work. Saw a nice 12" wide 8pt Sunday morning at 15 yards. Probably weighed 120 lbs. Shot a 190 lb 4 point that is 21" wide. I prefer to shoot mature deer and that one was mature and needed to go

it already is an 8point or better state. Thats the good thing about freedom is your free to hunt only 8points if you want. why would you want to restrict other peoples freedom. i like an occasional trophy but it wouldn't mean anything if it wasn't a rarity. also why would we want to cull all the 8 point genetics out of the deer herd.

I like what Mississippi does. They have a minimum spread or minimum beam length rule. I think Alabama has taken a step in the right direction the past few years.
