Paid Hunt Alabama - 12/16/20 03:23 PM

Has anybody been to any deer hunting lodges in Alabama?
If so was it worth it and which one did you go to?
This would be free range and not some high fence deal.
Thanks.

95% of Alabama deer lodges are a waste of time and money. Waaaay too much pressure on those lands.

The only one I went to was in Dallas Co. and it was bs as they wanted everyone to shoot a doe and be happy. Told them the agreement was we were after mature older bucks and they acted surprised even though they advertised big bucks and the customer who set it up confirmed it. Way overhunted and saw a few 6 pt.s but no shooters. Total bs in my opinion.

It was but I'm not sure now.........It's about as good as you're gonna get in Alabama for a paid hunt.....Nice place too with an old civil war era plantation feel....

Whatever you do not go the one near Eufaula under any circumstances or you will find yourself throwing a chair from one of their shooting houses out the window.

I went on a paid hunt in south alabama and me, my brother, and my dad never saw a single deer. Don't know if it was just a slow 3 days but walking the roads to and from the stands only 2 sets of tracks was seen between the three of us. I would definitely be careful paying for deer hunts in alabama especially since I've seen more sign and even deer on free public land.

This....

I said I’d NEVER pay more than $3k for a club in Alabama. That there was no way possible it was better than the clubs I’d been a part of my whole life. Boy was I wrong! Best season I have ever had and I haven’t even pulled the trigger.

If you have never hunted in Texas.....you need to! It is amazing and 5 days of hunting there is like 2 years of hunting here. Still some good hunts under $4,000.00 out there. Everyone who loves to deer hunt should go there at least once!

If I was going to go on a pay hunt, it would be in Kentucky, Kansas, Texas, Alberta or Saskatchewan. Hopefully will do all of them before I meet my creator. In the meantime got two college educations to pay for.

Look at some of the school hunts. They are reasonable, work to get you on deer and give you an opportunity to meet other hunters. I did the Gordo Band hunt a couple of years ago and it was a great experience. TerryTurner coordinated the hunt last year.

I went with a group of 25 people to GSO last week of last season. Rex and his crew were nice but the older guide who had been there for years told a couple of the hunters GSO ain't that good. Out of our group we killed 3 does. I saw three small bucks and killed two bobcats. Hunting was so bad that Rex cut the bill for the guys who paid for our group.

Glad someone else was paying for it, I would never waste my money on something like that.
