Plenty of big bucks near Jones bluff.... That’s the nice thing about Bama. Could go to other states and hunt there rut. Then come back here and hunt our rut I used to hunt the Michigan rut in 2 parts of the State and then go home to Bama for Christmas and hunt Lamison, Grove Hill and Lower Peach Tree.

I feel like I need to just pick a state and go. I think I've got everything I need. A truck, tent, bow, camping equipment, hunting equipment even a kyak if I needed it. Also my current job would allow me to work 6 days on 8 days off if I wanted, which I think I might start doing. What worries me is I would basically be going alone. None of my close friends hunt and all of my hunting buddies are at least 20 years older than me and don't have any interest in bowhunting or traveling out of state to hunt any more. Any one have any experience going out of state and any tips on where to start? Yea I am in the same situation but mainly due to my work schedule. I still travel to public lands in Alabama and I’ve started to look into Missouri as it seems the easiest to get licenses for when it comes to the Midwest.

I guess the fear of going alone would be if I got stuck, lost/turned around, needed help getting a deer out or anything like that. I’m now starting to realize that’s kind of irrational and that I need to get over it There are downsides to going alone. I've spent hours getting my truck unstuck when all I needed was a push. Dragging a deer out is a long and painful process. A sprained ankle can get you killed when alone in the woods, so you need to be careful. You definitely don't want to fall out of a tree. All that being said, there is no adventure like heading out into the woods alone and coming out with venison. The memories you make will last a lifetime, and it shows you what you're capable of. Most young people today are sniveling cowards who can't endure the slightest discomfort. If you're waiting on a buddy, you'll probably never go. Edit: One of the hardest parts of solo hunting is the boredom you face at night. Being alone with your thoughts forces you to confront every mistake you've ever made in your life. You will come out of it a better man though.That is the part I could not handle
