You Can Grow Bigger Deer Through Management

My family and I can attest that managing your property can absolutely improve your hunting. When I first started hunting these two, 150-acre farms, I might see one to three bucks per year, all year, on both properties. The bucks we spotted back then didn’t have brow tines for some reason. The farm we leased wasn’t producing any bucks bigger than a basket rack. Today, the bucks we harvest on that leased farm score between

Planting Food Plots on Smaller Properties

Many people believe that to be a GameKeeper you need a lot of land. But for the last 15 years, my family and I have been involved in planting food for wildlife and improving habitat on two 150-acre properties. We try to do as much as possible to improve the habitat, including creating cover for deer bedding areas, making sure the deer have plenty of water and providing more food. However, providing more food is

Building Relationships Through Deer Hunting

I’ve been fortunate enough to make friends in various states who allow me to come to their states to hunt with them. Generally I’ll have places to stay and eat, too, besides lands to hunt. Some of the relationships I have with hunters in other states have taken years to develop. All the people I hunt with when I travel are friends.

Gordon's Brunswick Stew

I looked up Brunswick stew and found that the ingredients vary. But my research leads me to believe that authentic Brunswick stew contains one of the following meats: squirrel, rabbit or opossum. It's usually served in the summer and it’s a really thick meat stew with vegetables, because if it was thin it would be vegetable soup with meat. Beef, pork, chicken and other domestic meats are used by some today who wish not to

Hog Hunting in Alabama

In many places, hunters are trying their best to eliminate hogs. Despite their efforts, they're finding that feral hogs are much like coyotes and cockroaches: you can shoot as many as you care to, but you’re never completely rid of them. Today, we have hogs where I hunt in Clarke County, and we hunt hogs during deer season if we see them. We also hunt hogs aggressively after deer season. Alabama’s Department of Conservation and

Alabama’s Late Deer Season Changes the Hunt and the Hunter

Since Alabama has lengthened its deer season until February 10, hunters in south Alabama are seeing sights they’ve never seen previously. I’m seeing bucks 3-1/2 to 5-1/2-years old with their noses to the ground, trailing does and actively chasing them. I believe our south Alabama rut even may go past February 10. However, if the state legalized deer hunting past February 10, the deer hunters would interfere with the small game hunters, and the woods

February Deer Hunting Season in Alabama Produces Bigger Bucks

Up until the State of Alabama initiated a February deer hunting season, our deer hunting in south Alabama was destitute. Once deer season went out each year on January 31, I was just beginning to see pre-rut activity with scrapes and rubs starting to appear in south Alabama. The chasing of does I observed was only being participated in by 1-1/2 and 2-year-old bucks. We rarely if ever spotted bucks 3-5 years old in south

Late-Season Deer Rut Means February Deer Hunting in Alabama

In south Alabama, where I live and hunt, we have a deer season that extends into February. We’re also seeing some other southern states like Florida and Louisiana lengthening their deer seasons into February. The first Alabama counties to have a February deer season were primarily the south Alabama counties below Montgomery, which is in the central section of the state. Many of the people in south Alabama had been telling wildlife biologists that the
