I was told by my friend that owns land in Portland that forever wild is in the process of buying the remaining land that Portland landing still owns. supposedly it will be the land from the old hit and miss lodge all the way to the river. Bad news for us but good news for other hunters in Alabama. word is that it will be an s.o.a hunting area.
Hopefully it will give us hunters that put in for the soa hunts a better chance at being drawn. one more thing, I've been hunting that area for 9 or 10 years and I've never seen a black painter so no need to be scared.
