Deer Crossing - here's the link for AL Sandhill hunting. Only 400 hunters have been chosen each of the last 2 years. You have to put in and get drawn. https://www.outdooralabama.com/what-hunt/sandhill-crane-hunting-alabama

I didn’t know anyone else I hunted with beforehand. Ended up meeting ALDeer member 7x57 Mauser in the blind that day too!
