That is absolutely laughable, according to that map I presume they think Walker and Fayette Counties have as many or more deer as anywhere in the state. Well I live close to the Walker Fayette line and have hunted in several places throughout the state and that is absurd. It should have been in the orange section for sure.

Mike, there are definitely fewer deer in eastern Fayette and western Walker Counties in places. We know that. There are other areas in close proximity where deer are fine. I saw 49 deer yesterday in 7 miles of county roads in western Fatette co. That's not too uncommon. We didn't have enough information to justify moving it into Fayette Co. The area in the orange is where we have the most information and justification for making a change that we can defend. We can't extend it into pockets of lower numbers when 5 miles away deer are really dense.

I think Jackson needs to be in 20 day zone too.

I like Chuck Sykes he has a little YouTube channel called management advantage. From watching it and reading about him the man knows what he is talking about. He is always trying to make hunting opportunities better for the hunters. Y'all should check out his channel. The man loves to kill turkeys and shoot does with a glorified pellet gun.

With the buck limit came the need for the "numbers guys" to resort to killing more doe to "feed their families". Now we have fewer doe. Who didn't see that coming?

I think that killing doe on public land should be outlawed for a while. Bankhead would be a prime example. Of course more would need to be done to improve forage to up the holding capacity. Maybe 1 doe every two years for a hunter on public land would be a good place to start. I would even impose a 1 buck per year law for public land.

You're out of your rabbit ass mind

Truly, truly am glad that a lot of y'all are not in charge of our state's wildlife management decisions about seasons and bag limits.

I fail to see why a hunter would be aganist an oportunity to have a larger and healthier deer heard on public land.

Just like i have said before, in my opinion, 90 percent of Alabama's deer killers would kill the last deer on earth just to brag about killing it. Oh, and to feed their family.
