This is the first year Alabama has instituted a bag limit for the season on bucks. We get 3 total. Two can be any legal buck (antler above hairline) and one ofthe 3 has to be an 8 point or better. So I guess I just got my hard one out of the way!!! lol
Actually our lease is 6pt or better anyway so I have two left. In years past, our lease had capped it at 6 per hunter though the state said you could shoot one per day.
As for does, you can still shoot as many as you want, but no more than 2 per day or 1 per day if the second deer that day is a buck. For our lease, if we shoot a buck, we have to shoot a doe next technically though I don't think anyone follows that and during bow season, out of 31 of us, only 5 of us bowhunt and noone else goes out there during this time. IN fact, they shut down the entire lease for a few months leading up to opening day gun season and they designated about 800 acres "bow area" for us to run around "pre gun". Fortunately as we've seen, the bow area is also quite productive! lol I don't think they thought the area they gave us was going to be this good as it is probably the worst looking part of the 5000 acres and hardest to navigate. I bet they are regretting that one right now! lol
