If people would use common sense we wouldn’t need to have this discussion.

Some people believe that a doe a day available means that they need to kill a damn doe a day. By god.

Just is what it is. I think we should reduce the turkey bag limits from 5 to 3. And go!

And if u want shorter season - just quit Jan 31st - don’t have to go if don’t want to

I hav not killed feb buck yet but seen some of my best deer then

Do you need more than two?

[quote=CNC]It seems like the consensus of the majority of folks is that gun season is too long /quote]

total bs.

x1000

Bucks?

Perhaps. I might need to kill 10. Or four. Or just one. Same with does. Same with anything - turkeys, squirrels, whatever.

Any other hunter telling me or anyone else that "You don't need more than ..." can smooch my behiney. Whatever is biologically sound or biologically detrimental is what I go on, not what someone else tells me I need.

Me three.

Me telling any hunter what he can and can’t hunt w or what he should hunt w is comical

Yea - I will be sure and listen 🤣🤣🤣

Smooch on it

I would like to see an actual Muzzleloader season worked in there somewhere. Instead of just a pretend one where everyone is at work.


The only comment I have about season length is this:

We have created an environment where everyone in this State rides the tree every weekend and that has been at the expense of other outdoor activities such as small game hunting IMO. I think the reality is that we have brought up a whole generation of hunters... whos vision of hunting is nothing other than riding the shooting house over a food plot every weekend. Something about that IMO is not desirable and over time I believe more hunters will give up the sport. They just think "hunting" = Deer Hunting = Sitting over Food Plot = I got bored and blasted a doe = I'm tired of this after 30 years and I have more responsibility so I'm taking up golf.

I think this is why Turkey Hunting is exploding in popularity. This generation of high school and college age young adults finds that hunting can actually be a lot more fun than sitting in a box blind playing on their phone.

It was a question! No one told anyone how many one should kill or not kill.

i'm not gonna tell anyone else what weapon they should hunt with and I think its irrelevant IF the season is based on the deer herd and proper harvest management. w/ that said it personally SUX hunting the rut at the end of a 3 month season but i understand alabama's not a trophy state. the deer hunting shows on outdoor channel aren't filming in alabama. it's a meat state w/ a long rifle season and that's how most want it.. if i was dictator i'd close the season most of December.

BINGO.

Sounds like a Chuck Sykes echo.

This...I sure enjoy tracking threads but, dang.

Oh I've thought about this my whole life!!!

Bow season still comes in October 15th. Muzzleloader starting December 15th through Christmas day. Rifle season starts Dec 26th and runs through Jan 31.

February 10 for select counties with later rut (no reason for the whole dang state to do so), BUT bow season starts Nov 1 in these counties (we gon' see just how bad y'all wanna hunt "the rut")

My MAIN point is it's ridiculous to GUN hunt nearly 3 months.

Horsechitt.

If you don't want to hunt 3 months keep your azz on the porch.

It all should be “deer” season. Get rid of the stupid weapons requirements. Ain’t like there is a shortage of deer.

I am going to put my land in one of those autonomouse or however you spell it zones. I will call it the chad hunting club

This.

Y'all need to get a life and become more interesting, damn start fishing too, have something else to look forward to.
