Are there any good outfits in Alabama, Tenn area? Really just one of my sons will hunt, the 5 y/o and I will prolly just be support. Something that has good success with 115-130" deer. Our place in Mississippi has a few deer, but nothing he wants to shoot this yr. I have looked at most outfitters websites, but it is very difficult to trust anyone. Just looking for a reasonably priced place. Any opinions. Public has gotten to crazy and with it being gun season.

May end up saving money and wait until next season, unless something comes up or open.

If you want your boys to have a chance at a 115-130" deer with an Alabama outfitter, you will need to look a cull buck hunt at a high fence preserve.

A 115" is really possible in Alabama, but a 130" will really cost you anywhere these days, unless you luck up. May just want to carry the younger one out squirrel hunting. That along with catching bream in a private pond would probably put a smile on his face.

We all killed a decent buck the first time and four of us killed bucks the 2nd trip. My nephew killed a 131, I killed a 120 and my brother killed a 120. All the bucks were decent. It might be worth a shot if you are wanting to stay in Alabama. We all saw plenty of rack bucks.

I have a couple youth draws here in MS i am bringing them on. Just was hoping to find something closer to home here. Texas was where we were originally going, but plans changed and most of the places were 2500-3500 for a decent buck. That was one, so it would be close to 6-7k for both. I am gonna get a kansas point this yr, so hopefully soon. Took the oldest to kansas on a youth hunt few years back and we did not see a buck after 1500.00 later. Outfitters are tough, even tougher when you paying that type of money and dont see a shooter or a even a deer.

I can put you on a KS outfitter that has had 100% opportunity for youth hunters since I’ve known him.

If he's booked call the Watts at Blackbelt Hunting lodge. All fine people and will do all they can for your boys, I will guarentee that. Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
