Alabama State Big Game Records

After intense deer restocking efforts from 1940 to 1960, Alabama’s whitetail deer populations went from a few thousand to what could now be nearly two million. Yes, that’s quite a few deer, but the reality is that the trophy-book bucks are going to be tough to find. There's one whitetail deer that breaks into the top 100 of all-time, and then the entries drop off a cliff. That doesn’t stop the roughly 180,000 deer hunters heading into the Alabama pines to try and fill the freezer. After all, antlers don’t taste very good regardless of how much barbeque sauce you put on them.
