| My Father-In-Law has hunted "The Black Belt", the part of Alabama that is famed for producing the largest Whitetails in the State. He and I had a visit recently and he for years has taken a buck each year that scored around 130 or over every year, until about 6-7 years ago. He is of the opinion that Whitetail Bucks in Alabama are averaging smaller scores than years ago. He feels that years ago there was alot more rowcrop agriculture being grown in the state and a very large percentage of what was once rowcrop agriculture is now Planted Pines, and the deer don't have access to the major food sources that made "The Black Belt" famous for large antler deer. I hunt the central part of the state, and have taken my largest deer in that area, but don't have the years that my father-in-law has to compare to, but would like to know how others think. With exception to, Primetime Plantation which we all know has more monster whitetails per acre than Milk River Montana, what do you guys think about Alabama Whitetails now vs. years ago?

| The area we hunt near Greenville used to have huge soybean fields planted every year according to my Dad. Now it is all planted pines and cow fields. Now I can not say if the bucks are smaller, but according to him the area used to have some absolute monsters. I am sure some of you remember Butler Management and bloody 21.

DANG , NOW THATS FUNNY AS HELL! Pretty bad when Garbo gets on you. I'm not on blue hoo, he just has access to bucks that I don't. Out of all the nice bucks I have seen posted that he claims he wouldn't shoot, I have to feel that the place he hunts is covered up with em. I would love to see his photo album, it must be awesome. Blue Hoo, I do wish you would show us some of the beasts. But, I ain't on him, I don't have the experience to get on him.

As far as the bucks give them a couple of years & they will be shooters. you have to pay to play.

| The Alabama Record Typical is 194 6/8 P & Y, and that is P &Y not B & C which should make the score a lower net after deductions. I don't think that 190's are walking around in herds, or even in pairs, anywhere in the state of Alabama. McCallisters(sp) is a large acreage High Fence property in Gordon Al. and He probably has the best herd I have ever seen or heard about in Alabama, and he ain't got that kind of deer walking around. BTW $50 won't get you through his gate, I once knew the fees but would be afraid to post them as I am not sure, but you could go way out of state alot cheaper. Do some of you that Hunt Alabama think the Bucks antlers are smaller than years ago?
