Alabama Bound!

I haven't tried them, yet. I've heard they are some count.

I gonna pick up a pack next week at the grocery i shop at in Greenville. My lease is only two exits north of Evergreen where their plant is.

I need to do this one year. Indiana deer hunting effectively wraps up for me in late November as I don’t have a muzzleloader and the activity after that typically isn’t worth bowhunting. Heading south would definitely extend the season!

If I took up bow hunting for whitetail and hog and turkey hunting in AL after the deer season closes on Feb 10 th I could hunt about 6-7 months out of the year there. I love hunting but I am pretty well ready to get fushing SWFL Florida by March.
We traded out our turkey hunting rights to the guy who puts in our food plots so I dont hunt them.

Yep great place for climbers. Thousands of trees that all look the same. But the tree in the most perfect place seems to always have a bunch of vines growing up it.

Those older pines in dense public land always have them.
I have a buddy who will find the trees he likes and trim the vines off of them with a small hatch before the season starts

Biggest difference for you western and northern boys is it will be super flat. Instead of draws and valleys you have to find funnels based on other things. Bend of a creek. Swamp. Where a clear cut meets a thicket.

Change from pine to hardwoods. Bucks are edge creatures and will walk the edge where one type of vegetation meets another.

Maybe, maybe not. I hunt places in Alabama that are way steeper than where I elk, mule deer, and turkey hunt out west.

Pretty hilly where I am at. Nothing like mountains. Lots of drains. Pretty good visibility now with understory all leafless but when we start up in November it's a dang jungle.

I have a spot I will be hunting next week that is in a corner of a hardwood slough, an old clear cut and mature pines. On the other side of the slough there is about a mile by quarter mile patch of last years clearcut. I cant get any more edges than that.

Another tip to remember…..don’t think because you’re coming to the South that it doesn’t get cold. 30 degrees and 90% humidity will freeze your butt off.

16 is then predicted low this coming Tuesday. LOL.
