Y Montgot and Clem, the highest harvest rates on Black Warrior came in the early to mid 2000s. Harvest reached just over 200 deer in '06-07. It has fallen since then, and this year's data has been quite disturbing. The trend had fallen each year I was there, and I took the opportunity to decrease antlerless opportunity my FIRST season there. I got to looking at historical data leading up to the time I began employment, and I immediately saw a problem. I justified it to Montgomery and we began reducing antlerless opportunity. I made it more restrictive each year I was there, until this past season when only one doe day was allowed on Zone B and 4 on Zone A. Harvest this past season was terrible. It has dropped to numbers that are equal to the early 1990s when several hundred deer were restocked from south Alabama. Great information!
