Are there any oil wells in the area? I have climbed the stairs on the tanks before and used that as a glassing point in flat country. Otherwise the trees will work if the wind is not blowing too hard.
I prefer hunting off the ground. I find it is really easy to find a natural feature like a fallen tree, tall grass, or even a cedar tree and use that as the blind. Just add a little brush to cover the sides and stay still. As long as you have the wind they will never know you are there. If the...
I relocated here a couple years ago. I am not sure what part of AL you are moving to, but there is plenty of public land in north AL with decent deer hunting. Within and hour and a half of Huntsville there are at least 250,000 acres of public land to hunt. If you are going to Birmingham there...
Thanks!
I went on their website and I think the link below should cover the 2019 application costs.

Does anyone know if there is a free resource that breaks down the cost of applying for deer/elk tags/preference points in all the western states? I found a great breakdown for 2013 elk draws at the link below, but I have not seen anything like this for the 2019 draws. I know I can go and find...
I have a set of Lowa Tibets and I am using Obenauf's on them. I am going to need to resupply soon and wanted to know if anyone had suggestions for products that may be better.
While I am asking, what is your preferred method for cleaning them before treating? I am currently using a soft brush...
I am thinking about going up to Kentucky in 2019 for a deer hunt. Can anyone tell me what the typical rut dates are in the state for each region? What kind of pressure should I expect during the archery/muzzleloader/gun seasons on public land? I am not going to post what areas I am looking at...
Yes in the calf, on the inside about 4 inches below the knee. Surprisingly there wasn't much pain, just lots of blood running out. It was/is a little tender to the touch, but I hardly noticed it after the first couple hundred yards on the hike out. I did stop every hundred yards or so to make...
I moved to AL two years ago, and from what I have seen this map is accurate for the areas I have hunted in North AL. I shot a nice buck up at Skyline this past weekend. He was running does hard. Last year I hunted on Wheeler and the rut activity picked up around the end of Jan for the area I was...
Similar experience this past weekend for me. First real accident for me and it will certainly change what I keep in my pack for quick trips. I got a nice deer down on Saturday morning, and instead of dragging it to a good flat spot to work on it thought I would just do it right there on a steep...
Thanks for the suggestions. Manners and McMillan are out due to price. I looked at the Sheep hunter early on, but I would prefer a drop in option so I don't need to find a gun smith to fit it. I think I will shop around for the HS stock and see if I can find a good price.
My first gun was a youth model Remington Model Seven in 7mm-08. It has an 18.5 inch barrel and short (youth) wood stock on it from the factory. I have cut and fitted a small block of wood to increase the LOP and added a slide over recoil pad. The current weight without the scope is 6 pounds 15...
Hike-n-Hunt PM returned.
Thanks to everyone else that messaged too. All PMs have been returned. Glad to know there are others in the area that are looking for hunting partners.
