I’m still amazed that Texas hasn’t run out of deer yet!! You know if corn is depleted the deer population in Alabama. Heck even with kill em all mentality in Louisiana,we still have a large population of deer and corn has been legal for as long as I can remember.
Texas doesn’t allow the slaughter of does like we do in this state. We allow you to corn all you want and sit at that feeder and shoot a doe every day you sit at the feeder. My complaint in all of this is leave the season dates alone. If there is any changes that need to be made it is do away with corn or have doe days implemented again in the areas that are suffering with deer numbers. Had to edit to add that even your kill em all Louisiana has limits on the amount of does you can kill. We don’t. Corn has helped aid in every swinging d### putting on camo and sitting at a feeder. So now we are where we are. You can shoot does in Texas. Most hunters CHOOSE not to do it.

I have two feeders out in strategic locations to help hold them on my property. But damn, who the hell can afford to put corn out like that.

If you are shooting deer off a corn pile it ought to be a done deal on the shot. If your struggling, sit closer to the damn corn pile!

I think our potential is sold way short……However, nothing that has been said has been about trying to grow trophy midwest deer……Its been about rule changes that have created piss poor herd dynamics, an over harvesting of bucks, and minimal populations across big swaths of the state. Expectations seem to be kept low in our state…..Dont expect much and you wont be disappointed seems to be our creed.......Just sayin, we definitely have plenty room for improvement...... So, how hard have you pushed this issue with the powers to be? I ask that as this seems to be a very personal issue with the betterment of Alabama's deer herd at stake.

I’d be good going back to closing it on Jan. 31st even though my 2 best bucks in the last 20+ years have come on Feb 1st and 3rd respectively. I still feel weird about deer hunting in February. Kinda like turkey hunting in May. But I’m gonna go if I can!

I've never been to a CAB meeting......I'm a little skeptical about how seriously they actually take the speakers.....I always figured it was basically just a way to appease the public and make them feel like they have a voice.....I'd be real surprised if it actually influenced decisions.

I just looked up Jackson county we are shooting more bucks than does. I am going to watch the numbers and see what happens for February. Cnc what do you think the numbers say for Jackson county? A lot of north Alabama counties saw big spikes in harvest numbers last year and are way down from that this year........Jackson being one of those Another interesting observation I noticed is that the entire southeastern corner of the state is seeing a 4 year high in doe harvesting.....Most counties will surpass it by a good bit.....The counties with green "x" are the ones seeing a 4 year high and the ones with the red X are seeing a 4 year low.....There's still more counties in north Alabama that may get a red X if they dont kill a bunch in the next 13 days ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/y3BPf0C.jpeg)

Better chance there than on an Internet forum. I’d give it a try if I thought my opinions were based on anything truly scientific. My opinions are just that, opinions. They are based on my experiences of being in the woods for 50 years plus, but that truly will mean nothing there.
