New Member from North Alabama

Thank y'all for creating such a fantastic resource for public land bowhunters! I'm David from Mentone Alabama. I learned to bow hunt growing up in Missouri but for the last 6 years, north Alabama has been home. I think I'm finally starting to figure out these mountain deer!

I love my Guidos web treestand. I've been using it for two seasons now and have scored on a number of deer thanks to its mobility and comfort.

I discovered this site not long ago and am thrilled to be part of such an awesome online community of ethical, public land bow hunters.

Welcome from Texas

Welcome, we're very happy to have you amng us! I'm a 'Webber" (Guido's) too. I absolutely love it.

Hello from south Alabama, good luck this year.

Thanks y'all. I'm hoping for a good season. dirtdobber I was planning to come hunt Barbour WMA this January (or late December) with a friend of mine. I've heard a lot of folks say its overcrowded, but I've also seen some of the deer they kill down there. Can you offer any thoughts on public land hunting for a good buck? If Barbour is too crowded, any other public options that are overlooked?

Thanks again from the welcome... Its nice to find a place where people understand what hunting public land is like!

Well I have not hunted Barbour wma this year but the past two years I have hunted it some from october through December and hardly seen anyone, I have always hunted where I wanted an never had anyone mess me up, 23000 acres is a lot of space to hunt, on the other hand I never go on any gun hunts and they changed the gun hunt schedule this past year to allow for more hunts in concentrated sections which probably made it seem a lot more crowded but also equaled more gun kills this year.
I usually will hunt back and forth between lowndes and Barbour to avoid the gun hunt schedule and still have a place to go. This has worked well for me to avoid the crowds and I feel safer too.
Hope this helps, Dirtdobber.
