My brother and me planned our vacation from dec 26th thru Jan 3rd. Wanting to go hunt somewhere in north Bama. Basically asking for a little advice would be the best for that time of the year. Trying to find a little rut or post rut action. And help would be appreciated. Thinking Chocolocca or however you spell it. Or hollins or whenever there is something with some action. Thanks for any advice.

Do you want to rifle hunt or bow hunt?

Didn't you say your dad had a huge property with trophy deer, or was that someone else I'm thinking of?

Neither of those WMA's are in "North" Alabama, just sayin'.

If you're interested in hunting bucks close to the rut that time of year in what truly is "North" Alabama, consider Lauderdale, Sam R. Murphy, or Skyline WMA's. All should be either in or close to the rut at that point, I think.

Bankhead Nat'l Forest would be the only post-rut deer at that time I can think of in North Alabama.

You should hunt the public land at Lake Purdy during those dates . It’s not but about 20 min from the mountains of Pelham .

He's likely to get shot!


I don't always hunt the line, but when I do, I make sure I'm close to my neighbor's 8 acre bean field.

JT,
I'd be looking to hunt Oak Mountain State Park in the mountains of B'ham. It would be right up your alley.

I bet Troy could show you some good spots on the public land at Lake Purdy.
