Could it be with processing fees going up some stopped game checking again all across the state? Doubtful......you would see it happening pretty evenly in every county

I think the culprit is that folks have shot the chit out of them and now there arent as many…….What a few people are seeing on their own personal property doesn’t compare with what Game Check is “seeing” across the whole county or counties. It would be virtually impossible for any individual to eyeball such a change across such a short time period……Hunter perception will lag behind what GC is seeing

If you add those laying in the ditches around here it would run the score up. Most I have ever seen . Saw 4 fresh ones in Scottsboro the other morning.
I still ain't worried.

Skyline is definitely shot out due to poor management by the state.

Its really no different than when we were slaughtering does back in the early 2000’s……Nobody was worried about it back then either until after the fact……Shooting a bunch of extra does is shooting a bunch of extra does no matter if it happens because of a 2 a day rule or a baiting rule......and there's definitely been a lot more shot.

Stop shooting does
You will have more deer
The people that slaughter does aren’t going to let a 3 1/2 year old buck walk anyway but
if they would stop killing every doe they would have more bucks to kill
It ain’t rocket science Yep. Trigger restraint is the source of the problem. Which has been stated multiple times throughout this thread. Baiting, long seasons etc. are all contributing factors but not the root of the problem.

What does shooting 3.5 year old deer have to do with shooting does???

Dove into the abyss and looked at GC numbers around the state. South AL seems to kill more does than bucks
North of Birmingham seems to kill more bucks than does
That’s not absolute but just a quick look. I know there are outliers but it kinda seems to be the trend.
Are there any correlations to compare with the sentiment in this thread.
Might could make a chart or something

It ain’t rocket science Yeah it ain't. I've prolly killed more does than 99% on this forum , I've also passed more 3 YO bucks than 99% of em too.

Might could make a chart or something Theres a different dynamic of hunter density to deer density......I'd say that likely plays a big part in a lot of what we see with north versus south

I’ve been feeding corn, free choice, for 2 seasons now. I have killed exactly zero deer on the property. I won’t shoot a doe. I won’t shoot a immature buck. I’m not feeding corn to kill deer. I’m feeding corn to keep them from being killed. I probably have one of the best looking food plots in Marshall county. I do it to try and increase the deer population, not to kill deer. I run multiple cell cams to monitor deer and potential trespassing issues.
Not everyone who has a corn pile on small acreage kills all the deer, some of try to improve the herd.
All you’re doing is fattening them up for your neighbors to shoot them. I know one for sure has been playing brown it’s down this season.
