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’d definitely try to schedule a hunt around the rut in the Midwest. It’s a whole different ball game and your odds of being successful are way up. I’d also look at season dates for the different weapon types. Bow hunts tend to be less pressure and gun hunts can be wide open and dangerous. If you have a muzzleloader that could be a happy compromise. May could do a time when the two seasons overlap. Like others have mentioned. Spend time looking at the different online maps that states offer and look for the same features you would look for in bama. Food, water, bedding and travel routes.

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.

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
