Although I do hunt in AL I was reading the post about pressured does and didnt want to hijack it so I made this 1. In AL the season runs oct 15-jan 31 we are allowed 2 does a day all season in almost the entire state that is 216 does and 3 bucks a year. With that much pressure I still see does on public property and very few bucks. I know alot of yall think they are killed out but IMO they do adapt to all the hunting pressure

Even with liberal bag limits, many still don't shoot does. So they may not be as pressured as you think.

I've heard tell from a very smart fellow that does do respond to pressure & a mature doe is harder to kill than a mature buck.

Exactly. Although the limits in Unit L allow a hunter to kill well over 200 does, but only 3 bucks, the harvest still comes in around equal.
Those who freak over the liberal limits don't seem to realize that just because something is allowed doesn't mean hunters are actually doing it.

Alabama's problem is they are still suffering from the "one buck a day" limit.
It's going to get better. Next year will be year three of the "three buck limit".
Tennessee had a 3 buck limit for several years, even before Unit L was formed. Tennessee is 10 years ahead of Alabama.
One reason I don't hunt down here anymore. Well, that and I quit dog hunting for deer.
