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. Mining company land all around us state park butt's up to that then a couple miles of high fence past that
We will burn that bridge when we get there

I don't know how many acres it is around me on my side of the road but huntstand shows it to be about a 3000 acre block of land with no to very minimal hunting pressure. There are two guys across the highway that hunt and we swap pictures and never do have the same bucks on camera. One guy kills a buck or two a year when he's not traveling for work. I think he didn't kill anything last year. Then the other guy is about two miles from me on the opposite side of the road. They kill a good many does but he's very selective on the bucks they kill.

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
Same thing happened at the house.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!
