How many deer did you kill @gumby ?After 132 days of archery season, one unantlered deer per day for 132 days and three bucks for a total of 135 deer it;s over. So everyone that says if it is legal go for it that would give the green light for 135 for the season. It is a wonder we even have a deer left in Alabama.View attachment 44285
Yea Tennessee is overrun with deerThis year We had 104 days at 3 antler less a day 2 bucks + bonus buck opportunities+ antler less opportunities
for 312 deer min could be 315 real easy
I killed zero this year but have killed 50+on a few years, when we had all the kids at home I would kill at least 16 deer a year. I picked up 12 deer at the processor at the same time before. lol
I hit 11 before gun season started and realized several things.How many deer did you kill @gumby ?
I only killed 2. I think our population is safe from me at least. You gotta worry about the outlaws trying to kill everything with a heartbeat. Speaking of, did you hit your goal of 20 deer @Nutterbuster ?
100 wood ducks...damn leave some for the rest of us....I blame Nutterbuster for the steady decline in wood ducks up here in Virginia...I hit 11 before gun season started and realized several things.
Killing deer every weekend is almost like a part time job.
I didn't have the freezer space.
It was getting boring.
I wanted to duck hunt.
So, I went duck hunting. Killed over 100 wood ducks and some gadwall. Fair tradeoff. Ended up with 12 deer.
Nah. 2nd most common north American duck. And only a 3 bird a day bag limit down here. We have hundreds of thousands of acres of habitat right here and about a Brazilian and a half birds. Makes up for the complete lack of mallards100 wood ducks...damn leave some for the rest of us....I blame Nutterbuster for the steady decline in wood ducks up here in Virginia...
Just messing with you. I'd love to shoot 100, I don't have enough land to hunt to even come close plus all the wood ducks leave pretty early in our season. I only ended up hunting one day this year, the last day. Shot two green heads and it was over!Nah. 2nd most common north American duck. And only a 3 bird a day bag limit down here.

If you're local to alabama come on down. We have local birds that stay all year and then we get migrants. They stay solid here all season.Just messing with you.

See up here we are overrun with mallards and black ducks and have limited wood ducks.Nah. 2nd most common north American duck. And only a 3 bird a day bag limit down here.

I remember the 2 per day and i'm not sure we have recovered from that in north Alabama, for sure in BWMA. I did not kill a deer this year(had a few under my tree) but the neighbors and hunting lease folks tried their best to kill all of them.But remember the good ol days of 2 per day Oct 15-Jan 31?
Congrats on all!So 132 days and I didn't kill a single deer but I could have killed some just not the ones I wanted, but I'm one proud daddy. My 17 year old boy killed 2, my 8 year old boy killed 2 (his first deer) and my 13 year old boy killed his first deer the last day of the season. So we have plenty meat and memories and smiles this season. So thankful to live in a country where we can have guns and hunt our own food. Also thankful to have a good place to hunt. God Bless American so that we keep these freedoms for my grandkids (my daughter is expecting my first grand baby)
