What I see from reading on here is that a lot of people want land close to their house. This works well for someone like me who lives in a rural area with some good hunting right outside of the city limits in all directions, but I don’t think it works as well for folks from Birmingham, Huntsville or Mobile. I would imagine the opportunities in Jefferson, Shelby, Baldwin, Mobile, and Madison county are limited just because of the shear number of people looking and a limited amount of land. It’s not much better around here with a lot of deep pocket city folks pricing a lot of locals out of the market. However there is more land to be had and I am very blessed to have the places I have.

Another wishlist item I see is a camphouse on the property. I feel like these are unicorn tracts. Every club I have been in around here before moving here full time required me to a metal building or a trailer, move or set it up. Set an electrical service, trench or haul in water, etc. I have several friends from the Birmingham area that want me to find them a piece of property or club every year. I do the legwork, tour the property with them and they walk away from it because there’s no camp on the property. I understand that this is a concern for someone driving 1.5- 2 hours, but there are options. You just have to be willing to do your part.
