I predict those that always gripe about deer numbers or size of bucks will continue to do so.

Gonna be tough to pin down a good buck with the amount of acorns out there.

I didn't know anybody killed bucks anymore. I thought everyone waited to let them grow for just one more year.

I'm gone bust the $hit out of them. And fill my freezer like every year.

Bad data gathering so no use in making predictions

More mature bucks on camera than I've ever had.

287 deer killed for 24-25 season before the season even opened, according to gamecheck. We are off to a good start.

With the drought we've experienced in North Alabama, i think opportunities will be plentiful due to food sources being more limited, causing deer to travel further for food. JMHO.

Quality of bucks could be down a little though. I hunted SE Kansas last year for the first time and they've been in a drought for 3-4 years. The outfitter told us the quality of bucks was way down and that's what we saw. I saw 3-4 yo bucks that wouldn't score more than typical Alabama bucks of the same age.

hell , i aint hunted in 5 years and my finger is itching really bad . even the ones in the yard aint safe this year . deer come slipping through by itself me setting on the porch , it gone .

I hav one really good deer for me on camera - likely a mounter 11 point and a few solid 10s and one other stud older 8 and a few older ugly bucks - all n clarke county - could b great season - if i killed 11 and stud 8 will be tremendous season for me

There is BEAUCOUP deer this year……..
A lot, lot lot, bunches of um. 😜😄
Everybody I’ve talked to has a good deer to hunt.

Yep, there’s a lot of middle aged deer running around. Don’t know how, but they’re everywhere.

I hate we not gonna hav lush fields by opening weekend - i doubt we hav rain next 3 weeks

One of my fav things about deer season is seeing fields grow before season - mine are all crap and no rain in sight - may not hav any by early November
