There are 3 land owners in So Cullman Co who own and cooperate on over 12000 contiguous acs. Parts are in enclosures but a most is managed free range. There are several other hunting clubs & smaller landowners mixed in. Another 2000 is contiguous just across river in Blount Co. Same deer herd.

Never seen a 200 class deer anywhere free ranging in Alabama. However they are available here in Cullman

As a comparison�..I think some of it may have been sold or split but Sedgefield Plantation alone is/was 13,500 acres. Now that�s just one of several hunting plantations in Bullock Co�.. Branch out from there in every direction and there are endless amounts of landowners who own 600 acre�. 800 acres��1700 acres��4,000 acres�..Hell, I�ve got two �neighbors� who own over 5,000 acres each myself. That makes a HUGE difference compared to an area where the habitat is fragmented with lots of individual 40-80 acre �farms�. You may have a decent area of the county where there is some good habitat, but from a county wide basis, the potential for having a large deer population is going to be limited by that factor.

I agree & like I said yesterday, this can't be compared to the black belt but will compare favorably to anywhere else in the state. Few counties outside the black belt still have tracts the size Sedgefield USE to have

We have 800 acres together with 200 of it still being farmed every year with standing crops most of the year. We have taken 12 doe and 2 bucks so far since the opening of rifle season. Normally we take between 20-40 deer a year off the property. Three years ago we took 35 deer off of 350 acres of it and only noticed a small decline the following season when we took 20. Back up to 28 last year. It all depends on where you are,deer density and the food available year round.

Wow! That sounds great!!!! Me and some of my buddies gonna head up that way and see what we can find to hunt. You don't get a chance at a 200"er everyday! Thanks for the tips!!

Some good one's on Brad and Stan's place for sure.

I think that Cullman County and ALL the Counties North of Hwy 80 are the GREATEST and everyone should hunt up there!

No need in leasing land down here in the South with these few tiny deer that we have!

Preach on Brother, preach on.

i often say the same thing to myself as i read thread after thread of people gripping about not killing or seeing deer. Be it due to dog hunters, neighbors, trespassers, or whatever. It is always the fault of someone else.

Yes exactly. They show up 45 min after shooting light and are eating a buscuit at Church's by 8:30. They drive their 4- wheeler across the property and park 10 yards from the stand. Climbing into the tree they notice their Tasco rings are rattling from when they banged on the ladder stand. They climb down shoot 3 times at a stump to make sure its still on and then back in the tree. I just dont know why some people have such bad luck.
