I'm from Maryland and I'm not very firmilar with any of alabama. Just don't want to waste my time on a spring gobbler hunt down there if it's not worth it. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Of the 67 counties in Alabama, Macon county is one of the best counties in the state for deer and turkey hunting. Top 5 in my opinion. If there is any timber on the place you should have no problem killing a deer or finding a turkey.

The deer numbers were unreal, and the turkey hunting was great too. I'd do anything to still be down there.
