I got to learn more about this homestead you speak of. You said “miles in either direction”. I’ll take that as at least 2 miles, potentially more. Two miles in every direction means you are in the middle of 10,240 acres. If you have a hundred acres, surrounding by 10000 acres of land, that is not legally hunted - then that is by far, one of the rarest places in the state of AL. I’ve worked forestry and studied maps in about every corner of the state. I’m pretty familiar with the national forests and public land scene - but these are obviously hunted properties.

Guess I’m just curious where this jewel exists.

I own a small piece of land but I feed year round and pull a lot of deer off of other property’s. I’ve got a lot of deer hanging on my property and over the years the does have over populated it and all the bucks I had living on it have moved to other places only to be seen here and there instead of all the time. By the first of January the few bucks I have left go to neighboring properties to be with a doe instead of a lot of does. The bucks will chase and breed does from January 1 until there horns fall off the first part of April. To me there is no rut on my property anymore. Back when my numbers were in check the rut was intense but now you rarely see any rut activity. When my numbers were in check there was always bucks living on my property and you would see just as many bucks as you do does but now it’s not like that. I plan on taking some kids or people in need of meat to shoot several off my property this year especially the ones that don’t breed and all they do is eat every year then they get a ticket to the processor
