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.
Last time I hunted Oakmulgee WMA it was crowded as heck. This was several years ago. Seen some good deer taken from there over the years.
