I never hear any talk of suggested NUMBERS of bucks to be killed....only size and age.


I asked those questions 20 years ago when I first started hunting in Alabama. Every club I was in growing up in Mississippi had buck and doe quotas that were set every year by the timber company biologists based on previous year data and historical trends. The bucks still had to meet certain requirements and you weren't guaranteed one just because you paid your money.
