But where you hunt is not indicative of the rest of the state's bucks, either, is it? I wouldn't expect to see 130s around your neck of the woods based on what you've described, even despite your management efforts. I'm sure you've hunted in other parts of the state, though, and not just your current location.

Clem I have only hunted in Mobile, Washington and Baldwin counties and no I do not expect to see many 130s in those counties. My main concern is not the score of the bucks antlers but rather the lack of hunter enjoyment due to the lack of deer sightings. I have seen quite a few new and experienced hunters give up on deer hunting and it had absolutely nothing to do with too many regulations but rather the lack of deer without any reasonable expectation of killing a good buck ( around 100 inches is pretty good around here). So maybe people misunderstand me when I talk about other States.....has nothing to do with the size of bucks but rather the amount of deer and the reasonable opportunity to kill a buck.
