To just kill a deer? Best population, highest odds of killing any deer? I’m talking about bow hunting only.

Wheeler refuge. Not a lot of pressure and plenty of places to get in the woods.

The statistics for man days hunted per kill used to be published, That being said, my experience has been less pressure equals greater success. That may be an oak tree 100 feet from the parking area or the other side of a creek. Find areas that hunters avoid and the deer will be there.

I have hunted Lauderdale WMA since the 70's and if I had to pick any place to kill a deer with a bow, this would be it. I have no idea how many I killed with a bow over the years I have hunted there. One year I had killed 7 before the gun season opened. I have never seen a "giant" there but I have laid eyes on tons of good mature deer. I have not set foot on it since the CWD scare, but I could kill a deer there tomorrow if my life depended on it.


I can't stand a thief.

I would say corp land on the Alabama river if you are just wanting to sling arrows. Plenty of deer and hogs. Geneva does have decent deer numbers but there is a lot of pressure and people that will walk in on you. My friends that work for the forest service say they are seeing more deer in north end of talladega national forest than they ever have. Icr the management area in the forest I think it’s chocco

I saw that. Michael is a North Alabama guy. I’m interested in hearing thoughts on the entire state.

You ever hunt Freedom Hills? It used to be some really good bow hunting years ago.

Barbour WMA in SE AL is hard to beat. Invited a friend from Limestone Co down a couple of years ago that usually hunts at swan creek and wheeler and he told me after 2 days in the woods he was tempted to move to Eufaula just for the deer hunting.

The reason I ask is a big part of me wants to get out of the hunting club-lease business. Part of me loves chasing big bucks but another part wants to go back to a simpler time when just killing deer any deer was fun. I think traveling to different public land locations and bow hunting would be fun!
