The guys I know around Shelby county that hunt private land are having normal years. I haven’t heard any complaints. I’m personally glad that I hunt public land and don’t have to deal with this corn/ neighbors BS. It has its own challenges but I’m having fun.
There’s a lot of public ground less crowded than private clubs and small tracts scattered across the landscape. There’s pretty good hunting to be had on a lot of AL public lands.
Was talking to one of our old members yesterday and how we ruined it by providing constant pressure on the club. Those deer knew us better than we knew ourselves.
