plenty
I hunt in AL probably more than a grown man should!!!!! G-tide is likely on target, the southern half of the state has more game (deer and turkeys). The north west area where I'm at has some heavy use, with Huntsville and the Quad cities area nearby, and success rates and kill #'s are not so hot when compared to further south. It works for me, but I spend an inordinate amount of time in and around our WMA's, Lauderdale and Riverton.
Public land in AL is limited. The WMA's are an option, and there is some Nat Forest Service land too. But it is a small percentage. Most of the serious hunters I know, shell out cash for a lease, north or south.
Talladega NF is in the south east, as is Barbour WMA. Black Warrior WMA and Bankhead NF are more north central. The state maintains some fair stats on hunter success rates and harvest totals. You can check them out for yourself. Sam Murphy WMA is more central West and chalks up some good numbers on some years. It recently has been heavily timbered and I have nearly given up on it.
The best deal in AL and public land is to be a deer bowhunter. Archery stays in for the entire 100+ day season, and often you can bow hunt deer, when the area is closed to gun hunting. Once the early rush of part time bowhunters is over in Oct., , and gun season begins, I seldom have any trouble w/ pressure from other bowhunters. In fact, in 20+ years, I have never had to change plans on a late season bow hunt due to another hunter on an WMA, no matter which area I choose. ,, It makes for great, solitary bow hunts. Not a lot of game sometimes, but the hassle of figuring out the deer and other hunters is not a factor. Sam Murphy WMA did not seem to be bow hunted much at all. Now they've cut most of the trees, tough if your a tree stand guy, ......oh well.
