Does ANYONE have any experience with this place? Of course it appears to be a southern hunters paradise. I was thinking of booking an early season bowhunt, Oct/Nov 3 day hunt. Best I can tell this includes 2 bucks (1 trophy and 1 management) for $2k. Please let me know if any of you guys have been or know someone that has! Thanks in advance. Life is Simple: God is Great, Beer is Good, Meat is Food, Abortion is Murder, Men Love Women and Liberals are Stupid. Nothing Complicated About That.

Not all the pine plantations and clearcuts but all hardwood ridges and swamps. It took me forever to get used to all these ugly pine trees after hunting over there. I hunted Yucatan south of that when I was younger and it was nothing to see 100 deer a day. jmlane

Beautiful place from what I've seen. Originally Posted by BPS This is Aldeer! The place people come to vent their frustrations and completely change their stance a few minutes later...

We parked on the Dike of the Mississippi River and loaded all our gear on pontoon for the ride over. River was way up and lots of the land was underwater. When I went you had to have a guide with you, in order to shoot a "management" buck otherwise you'd better shoot a 150 class or so. LIke I said earlier I would reccommend it from my experience..

I think Mossy Oak still leases the entire place for a week or 2 during bow season! Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. Emerson
