I do wish that public land in Alabama was as good as what I've seen in IL and KY.
I do too buddy but in reality to achieve that we would probably need to cut rifle season to about 10 days or so and enforce a 1 buck limit for the season. And it still probably wouldn't be as good as it is up there.
To start with you would also have to haul in several hundred thousand acres of Midwest soil and plant soybeans and corn on it. If you can't accomplish that nothing else you do will get the average scores per age class that is seen on those types of soil with all the food a deer could possibly eat growing on it.
I laugh every time I see things like this posted. The areas I've hunted didn't have any flat land, much less crops for miles.
If you do not believe that the soils in a region do not directly impact the average score of bucks in that region you are sadly mistaken. It is not just coincidence that the biggest bucks are killed in areas with the most fertile soil.
