I've only hunted Zone A this year. And I haven't seen a huge number of hunters in Zone A.

Anyone willing to give me any general locations on Zone B? Hopefully going this Friday and I'm going to be guessing on where to hunt Zone B.

All the deer in Zone B ran away or are already dead

From what I hear, they didn't run from you, they just moseyed on down the trail.

Rocket, I'll be up in Little Coon this weekend if you and NH want to share a camp fire.

PM to ya ...

The quality of the hunting has really went down in the last 10 years. Does need to be off limits for awhile.

Will be at skyline tomorrow hope to see a few more deer

Rut, will be going soon. Deer should be in seeking phase. Good deer killing time. Population is most likely headed lower.

Read the first few post if this thread and skipped on down . I've never been there but Id bet it's got a good coyote population.

Yep, summa tha finest yote hunting in the southeast!

Coyote population is probably going down, I would think they are migrating to the private areas that still have deer. Most of Skylines' deer have died from lead poisoning.

Yeah probably a combination of both , that's what kills me all the bitching complaining, frustration, about deer numbers everywhere, and we have liberal doe harvest , along with the most pesky varnit around taking out probably just as many deer statewide as hunters . Seems like we could promote trapping and hunting of yotes in some way. If there not going to do anything or make any changes the state needs to do more to educate people on wildlife managment . there are way to many uneducated hunters on this subect.

I hold the state 100% responsible for the slaughter of the deer herd. We the hunters (people) have entrusted them with the management of our deer herd, they have failed us miserably. The deer herd will never recover under the current limits, it will decline year by year. If you don't control a few thousand acres you're pretty much out of good hunting opportunities at this time, the state will determine the future of hunting in Alabama and that's a fact. Hopefully, they wake up soon.

Yeah it's a shame that Alabama , Is the U.S.A's known capital of country boy rednecks , and the state is going to allow us rednecks to screw up what we love to do best ., I hope there is an influential politician reading this, and I hope he hits his head agaisnt the wall walking to take a piss this morning .. and really thinks about things .

Sadly I agree totally.... if things don't change soon my days of buying an Alabama hunting license is coming to an end.

How's the hunt going, any reports? According to 2 dogs, the rut should be going good. He says it's showtime. How far is skyline from Boxes Cove? I would assume near Paint Rock Valley. Is my assumption right? Good luck.

I saw 4 bucks on FB that came off Skyline all claimed to be chasing. All yearling bucks.

I have to agree with how Brent compared him to Mark Richt.

Just the land itself used to be maintained. Plots were planted, roads maintained, campground maintained, etc. Not anymore. They dont even bush hog the camp ground. It's a joke.

I used to love to hunt little coon and big coon. I never saw herds of deer, but I saw SOME deer on a consistent basis. The last few years, I've seen ONE buck. I'm done with it for now.

I for one, have never been walked on by another hunter more than a couple times during a few years when we hunted Skyline pretty hard.

All they need is a little throw and mow on all the existing plots and ban the atvs/jeeps

I dropped by backwater outdoors this afternoon, went to the 24 hour cooler in back to check and see how many 'rutting bucks' were in there. There were 3. Two of them looked like yearlings, the other wasn't very impressive. Lots of Skyline and PRV hunters use this processor ... Wondering what's up, last year during rut you couldn't squeeze into that cooler there were so many large bucks in it
