Killed on the Cade place, a mile west of the dam. I killed another fallow the next year a few hundred yards to the north. Also got several more nice whitetails.

That was by far the best deer hunting I've ever experienced. Not only did you see 30-40 deer a day, but there were some really big ones. The fields were double-cropped with wheat and soybeans and all they had to do was eat. I nearly cried when we lost permission to hunt it in 1977.

There were a lot of fallow deer mixed in with the whitetails back then. I saw plenty of fallow does and spikes, but not a big number of racks. I never saw one bigger than the one in the pic, but there were mounts in the stores that were a lot bigger.

Its a shame they are about gone, but they really aren't smart enough to survive without a lot of protection.

I believe it was Baine Henderson that brought fallow deer to the Miller's Ferry area around the 60's.

INcorrect....

Bains dad Mr Fred Henderson brought those deer in......in the late 40's.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Preacher, one of the fallows I killed was on the Cade Place, very cool place back then.

the other was just south of Roy Childers place on Roy Bonners place at Dixon Creek. We went in by boat, killed two deer and dang near swamped the boat on the way back to the landing. Had to hurry to get to Bains place at the Bone Swamp for a dog drive.

Mr. Baine told me the story of how they got there but I had forgotten. Saw quite a few while deer hunting on their property. Got my attention a few times before realizing they were fallows. Hendersons were great people and I miss the hunting in that area.

central ala,
The Hendersons got the Fallow deer out of Prattville from Judge C. R. Thomas and from Illinois. This is what Prattville people know now as Deer Trace. In 1925 Bruce and Fred Henderson got 3 fallow deer. In 1931 or 32 about 20 of these deer escaped and multiplied. While in captivity the Henderson were getting 100% reproduction from the fallow deer but only 65% from their cattle. Cattle farmers today would freak on 65%.

I have seen a few in Millers Ferry but it was back in the early 80's when I was a teenager.

Preacher that's impressive. Thanks for putting that up! My MIL killed a pretty good one in Bone swamp. Of not by some of yalls standards.

I know I would like to put deer drive on there.
