Where you hunt or have hunted in Alabama what percentage of mature bucks not all bucks killed, let's just say those killed that are 4 1/2 or older score 140" or better.

For me I would say for where I hunt no more than one out of every ten bucks that is 4 1/2 or older that are killed will be 140" or better, so at best 10%

I don't think it's near that many where I hunt. I'd say 1 out of 100 (???).

I have no idea, and really couldn't give an educated guess. Probably nowhere near that where i hunt.

I would have to guess and just a guess 40-60% 4 1/2 year olds that make 140. Average buck I see killed tho is only 2-3 1/2 years old which sucks.

Mike i would say even less than that 5% i would say is stretching it .

If that is anywhere close. I am deffintly hunting the wrong part of the state.

You may be right I am just going off memory of last 4-5 years of bucks that have been killed. Sometimes my memory ain't so good. But I would almost guarantee in this part of state it is not more than 10%.

I like the 10% number

Probably 1%

Less than 5% where I hunt.

1% maybe.

In Baldwin Co it would be a small fraction of a %

Close to 0%

depending on the county I mean there are tons of 140 class bucks killed in Montgomery, Bulloch, Lowndes, pike, and Macon, butler county every year that no one ever hears about. I know of 4 or 5 killed just in Montgomery county this year that haven't shown up on here. all I'm saying is there are more than you think, couldn't even begin to give a %

Most seem to be in the 140's+ but it's because of all the ag land

I was talking about strictly where you hunt. Where you know how many bucks were killed how many of those were mature and how many of them scored over 140. I know there are a lot of 140's killed in every county but unless You know how many were killed in that county and how many were mature deer it don't give you any ideal of what % of bucks actually have the potential to reach 140.

Maybe some of the guys that work the WMA hunts can tell us how many 4 1/2 and older bucks get checked in and how many of them score over 140.

In Dallas Cty were I hunt I'd say less than 1%. We have several old paw paws running around that will not even come close to 140". I've seen a couple that might make 140 but they were all over 4.5. I've had to change my way of hunting on this property because if I held out for 140 or better I would pass up a lot of old deer and rarely pull the trigger. This is on AG land along the AL River. We either have way to many deer or lack the right minerals in the dirt. We have the age structure and then some so that's not the issue.

I would say around 5%.

I'd say about 25%.
