I can appreciate the OP's frustration but Alabama hunting lodges are only about running as many people through camp as they can. They all advertise "great southern cooking" and "great" hunting, but rarely live up their claims. As long as your expectations are not set high, you can't be disappointed. It ain't Texas or Midwest giants your hunting. The quality of the deer will be about the same as a good hunting club and they will be highly pressured due to the large numbers of hunters.
