Don’t let folks talk you out of trying to make a go of it in Alabama. There was a time not too many years ago when I’d get up at 2 am, drive from bham to public land along the Tennessee river, only to scratch out a few ducks here and there. I enjoyed every minute of it. Used to even do stupid stuff like run the river in a boat by myself in the middle of the night in January when no one else would go. I’m not near that mad at em anymore and luckily have a private place I can go a few times a year to get it out of my system. I just enjoyed the process.
