A question for any of you that still dog hunt. I bought a place in South Alabama several years ago with the plan to build a house and move there when I retire. I still have several years. I have been a dog hunter my whole life and don't plan to give it up when I retire. My plan is to come back to FL to run my dogs. There are millions of acres of public land open for dog hunting 2-3 hours south of my place in Alabama. That being said, it would be nice to have a place to do it closer to what will be home. Alabama public land seems to be pretty much out in that regard. I have read that you can run dogs in parts of the Talladega NF, but I can't find much info on it and it would also be a couple hours north. Are dog hunt clubs in Alabama still a thing? Dog hunt clubs in FL are huge (acreage wise), I know most clubs in Alabama are small in comparison. Assuming there are dog hunt clubs, are they bigger? Just planning for the future.
There are still some large clubs around. Small in comparison to the Florida public land. And style of hunting is much different because of that.
