Parker Island has some big cypress swamps that are beautiful and that you dont see many places.......I tracked at a military base in Anniston that was some of the prettiest hardwoods I've seen.......To me the big quail hunting plantations is some of the prettiest landscape. I guess maybe just because I like the abundant wildlife aspect of it.......I would liked to have seen it when it was virgin long leaf I'd rather see these hardwood mountains full of Chestnuts, the Giant Sequoia of the East. Damn Chinese virus got them too.

It's hard to beat the foothills of the Appalachains in Northeast Al. Walk the Pinhoti anywhere from Jacksonville to Ga. in the fall and you'll see some awesome places. And if I'm not mistaken Duggar mountain wilderness has the largest area of roadless woods in Al.

Shhhh you two, them flat landers are already too numerous up here. Y’all can have them mountains…….I’ve lived down here for 20 years now……Every once in a while over the years I’ve gotten an nostalgic itch to go back home and hunt up in those mountains of Jackson Co again with some of my family like when I was a kid…….I end up saying the same thing every time I do it….. ”Piss on this!!!!” ........

I always thought that the Black Belt Prairie region across the state was pretty. Big open fields and scattered woods. Never spent any time in Jackson County, but won't mind seeing it in the winter.
I remember seeing an old growth forest in South AL when I was a kid. I was visiting my grandparents in Greenville and my granddaddy and dad taking me to see the last old growth forest left in that area. It was being put to the saw and people were going to see it before it was cut. This was probably in the early 1980's and I was maybe 12. I remember walking along a creek and the pines and oaks were huge and the understory was open and you could see forever. To a young kid they looked like giant redwoods. The three of us couldn't link arms around most of the trees.

Jackson County has some pretty high peaks but for the most part you'll see rolling hills.

And if I'm not mistaken Duggar mountain wilderness has the largest area of roadless woods in Al. What’s really neat is you have the Appalachains on one side of the river and Cumberland mtns on the other.

I don’t know but it ain’t around here in southeast alabama. You north Bama boys have some absolutely beautiful land up there. You're correct! We have small pockets of beautiful land left, but not a great deal. I hunted an area in northeast Henry County 20 years ago. It had beautiful hardwoods and bottoms. It was all clearcut and replaced with pines. A sad day for sure. The land I lease now was clearcut 2 years ago. They burned it in October and planted baby pines last month. It looks like a wasteland right now. I have only seen 3 deer since November. I guess all the activity ran the deer off. Turkeys...well that's a different story. I've been seeing them every hunt. Thank God I'm a turkey hunter! I know I shouldn't complain, as I have the birds. But I just can't help but want to hunt those birds in some pretty woods. I guess you can't have it all, uh? I hunted a place in Screamer when I was a kid that was the same way, big rolling hills and bottoms full of trees you couldn't reach around. And give the deer a year and they will fill that clear-cut up!

..I would liked to have seen it when it was virgin long leaf Is give anything to see North America in the 1500s. If I only had a time machine. No doubt It would look vastly different than what 99% of folks would imagine

The old callaway plantation where the cahaba meets the AL river. Scott Drummond has owned it a while now. It’s a fine piece of row crop dirt plus deer growing dirt. I could stay on that place and never set foot anywhere else and die happy.

Talladega national forest, where road 600 runs the top of Rebekah Mountain to Hollins WMA, is beautiful. Try it sometime. Climbed the tower several times. Was stupid to do but we survived. Absolutely beautiful experience.
