I hunt in Bullock, Russell, Macon and Madison counties in Alabama. I also have farms in Lincoln and Marshall counties in TN. My best tract is a farm that I own in Lincoln county TN where the population also happens to be the lowest. That tract has been managed very well and it flat out produces.

I'm not saying there are not parts of Alabama where the population could be higher, some areas could be A LOT higher. My point is that there are MANY parts of Alabama where the population is FAR above the carrying capacity and a lower population is not necessarily a bad thing for those areas.
