Hot weather and plenty of food. No need to move around much.

Early December, in area's with a January rut, is always a slow time for deer. Always has been, and yes, we call it the December doldrums. Same thing every year. And ya'll do know the problem with hunting is hunting...as in pressure.

Been hunting 3 times this year.
1st time saw 3 does, 1 8pt.
2nd time saw 1 doe w/ 2 fawns, 1 8pt. & 1 7pt.
3rd time 2 does.
I killed the 7pt. with rifle Friday after thanksgiving in Fayette County and the doe yesterday at the Cahaba Management area.
I can't complain at all about my deer sightings.

The deer have definitely been weird this year for me. It's either feast or famine. I've sat several hunts seeing nothing and sat several hunts and seen piles.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

Why do y'all think that your Decembers are slow?

You need to kill more does.  Seriously though, hope it gets better for y'all. Been hammering them pretty good last three years or so. Was suppose to make it better but that ain't been working out so far at least not for me. If you're killing a lot of does, you may not have many deer left. I'm only half kidding. The hammering of does has done a number on the herd at my property. I quit killing them all together. Alabama put a two doe a day, season long rule in several years ago. Within 3 years I'd say our population declined by at least 50%. Now it's even less. I may quit hunting that property all together for a few years. The $300 OOS license just isn't worth it anymore especially when I've got deer out the yang yang here at home in FL. Really a failure by Alabama in my opinion. A one size fits all management philosophy does NOT work. That's why many states are managing on a regional basis now. It sucks cuz we had a nice herd at one time. It's almost non-existent now. I agree with this 100%

Why do y'all think that your Decembers are slow? I think it has everything to do with everybody hitting the woods to gun hunt. We don't have it as bad now, since we hunt two different properties.

My buddy's processor said they are seeing half the numbers of deer brought in than normal. Attributed it to the warm temps.
Love God. Love people. Serve Christ.
