Really want to do an DIY trip somewhere this year. Due to budget and time constraints, I am focusing on the southeast/Alabama neighboring states. Would love to do Missouri but don’t know how feasible that is.

With that said, any ideas on neighboring states to do a hunt? Most draw permits begin in January, so have some time to plan my options. There’s always the option to forget draw hunts and just pick a wma, but figured draw hunts may have better success odds due to limited hunters. Certainly not opposed to hustling on a wma though

I’m thinking somewhere in TN or GA, but not sure of their populations. Used to hunt a wma in MS during my time in school, so that’s my fallback.

Thoughts? It’ll be here before you know it
