Very challenging hunting but rewarding as well.
The biggest difference from the Midwest to the Southeast is the lack of a consistent wind. We hunt more so off of thermals. A “windy” day here is a 7-12 mph wind, but that’s based off of gusts, we rarely have a sustained “wind”.
These deer are much more wary to human presence & hunting pressure as well. Being they’ve been hunted from October to February with rifles, the dumb die and smart survive.
There’s also public land but the road systems are very muddy, rugged and remote. Especially most of Alabama & Mississippi’s… some are gravel but 4x4 and mud tires or fresh AT’s is encouraged. Our rainy season is December-May so the ruts are bad this time of year.
