Looks like a yearling to me

Northern Alabama is jan31. Southern is somewhere round fen 10. The southern zone it to pick up on the last half of rut which really gets going the last week of Jan. Only problem is the heat. Hunt the south last year and is 80 degrees

I can honestly say this is the first real time I have been crying from laughter on this site. Thanks I needed that after the day I had. It's snowing now here in bama if it sticks I will most definately be out in the morning.

Very well said guys exactly how I am as well.

Lol. A man has to do what a man has to do lol. Man this thred has sure changed course but I guess after hearing how much people dislike us out of staters maybe this will show we ain't all that bad and we're all in the same team. At least as far as this site is concerned

Hunting, football and some bad homemade liqueur will get you into a fight faster than anything down here. Lol had to learn that very quickly and honestly was a bit of a culture shock

Hell. I don't think there are any state borders south of the mason Dixon all these southern states are all the same. I thought this way of hunting was only in Alabama been here for three years now and it's definately totally different. I'm still trying to figure it out. Until you experience...

Lackster. Ur not in the boat alone. Alabama is the same way. I feel your pain. Have lived in Ohio and now bama. People in Ohio think the wildlife managers are bad up there. Come to the south then let me know what you think. In bama we can get 3 bucks a year and a doe a day from October thru...

The 1 time I did skin it early on and left to hang and age the entire outside of the deer was dried out. I told myself never again. The extra 5 mins to skin is a good trade off in my opinion

As long as it's cool enough and depending on the age of the deer average 3 days. Obviously if it's hot it goes to the cooler immediately. I do all deer myself

All I can say is wow. To me that is almost disgusting. Talk about not respecting an animal after I shoot one I couldn't tell you how many times I visit that animal to reflect on the experience and thank the big man and the deer for the goodness I feel. Definitely none of that here

After killing a deer do y'all hang it skin on or skin off. I have always kept the skin on with no adverse affects which I can tell but a buddy of mine says I'm crazy and it will make the deer tastes gamey. What's is everyone's approach to this

I agree it is very sad that they feel they have to pay someone to reduce the deer herd in these areas. Unfortunately however, we as hunters in general have probably forced their hand in this. 95 percent of us are ethical and attempt to do things the best way possible but then there is the...

If they go to the units like they are proposing I think the units that have gotten absolutely hammered should go to buck only or have a lottery type system for limited doe tags. The population can rebound at a fairly fast rate. Assuming one doe has one yearling doe per year if left alone in a...

The 50 deer was only a one time deal and hasn't happened since. I guess my point was a reduction was needed but I feel we are at a good level now for my area. That's is one small area sanctuary where I can consistently see 15 to 30 come out to feed but of course that is pressure induced

Sounds like the population where u guys are is way down. I count myself fortunate to not have seen much of a decline in deer numbers over the last decade. Some decline yes but we needed it around here in northwest Ohio. We should not be seeing 50 deer in the fields feeding at one time around...

That's why I am surprised because it like this all week long. There are some driving groups here and there but it's almost just like bow season except for a few more gun shots. I actually really like it this way as I still have deer patterns

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but 10 years ago if you were to drive around the area I hunt you would see groups of pushers everywhere going from wood lot to wood lot. That practice in now all but extinct by me. Good thing imo is less deer wounded and shot at on the run but bad...

When my kids were smaller and we would take a trip to the store of wherever I would take a different turn and they would say. " no not another shortcut daddy". And out to the country we would go. Still makes me laugh to this day

Well that only covers the entire state. Lol any way congrats and good luck in Bama this year. One can definitely fill a freezer down there if your in the right spot with a Doe a day and 3 buck limit
