Getting the Feeling for Alabama Deer Hunting

from: Maxx Sports Guides



There are few opportunities for whitetail deer hunters, that provide a better catch than Alabama. Throughout much of the state, there's hunt property managed for big bucks -- every hunter's prize -- and the ratio of bucks to does has increased by the season. In Alabama, deer hunting involves either bow hunting or gun hunting, so choose your preference.

For new hunters, there are many deer farms and preserves where the best Alabama deer hunting experience is guaranteed. Most lodges and farms specialize in whitetail deer, the most common species found in the south and, depending on which preserve you choose, you'll discover about 5,000 acres of hunting property where deer are in abundance.

The last few years the ratio of large bucks to does has increased. While the average results of does to bucks in the 2000-2001 season was reported to be three to one, the 2002-2003 season was down to 2.2 to 1 on preserves. Some of these farms provide winter classes to train you in the wooded areas for Alabama deer hunting.

In order to enssure large bucks with well developed antlers and that herds are of considerable size, many deer farms feed their animals much more than just the natural vegetation. The fields of these farms are kept full of iron clay peas, grain sorghum, and other protein sources that assist in the growth of deer.

Depending also on your goal as a hunter, many of these preserves are divided for various usages. Some have open tracts of land for bagging does and small bucks, with designated areas where you can search for your trophy buck. Most areas allow you to choose between guided hunts and self-assessed hunting experiences.

Keep in mind, Alabama deer hunting is seasonal, and you can't just enter the woods and find your trophy deer at just any time. For archery (bow hunting), deer season begins in mid-October, while gun deer hunting season is delayed until late November. Exact dates are determined by year, so check with the Alabama Department of Wildlife to find the exact season opening dates.

For many, Alabama deer hunting is a way of life. For decades, avid hunters of whitetail deer have either lived in or flocked to Alabama for one of the most productive hunting seasons anywhere in the country. Due to the minimal hunting restrictions and many opportunities available, Alabama deer hunting is a profitable business for many in the state.
