Our Experience at This Lodge
We loved our time at this lodge! The quail hunting put our shooting skills to the test and the deer hunting area showed up how tough a high-fenced hunt can really be. We could tell quickly that the attention to detail that this lodge prides themselves on has created an incredible experience from top to bottom – from the food you eat to the hunt you embark on.
During our quail hunt we hunted over the best dogs we have ever had the pleasure of teaming up with. They were patient to let us set up and prepare to shoot before flushing, very sweet and well-behaved, and a wonder to watch as they responded to commands.
The people here are delightful. They have been staples at this lodge for a 10+ years. The lodge staff is attentive and joyfully takes care of your every need. The hunting and grounds staff are incredibly knowledgeable in their fields and patient in their teaching styles. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and learning from their wealth of knowledge.
Fishing
Lake Guntersville holds the esteemed title of being the second-best bass lake in the country. The lodge can arrange a local guide for exceptional fishing experiences, either as an add-on to any trip or as a standalone excursion during the hunting off-season. There are also opportunities for bass fishing in the on-property lakes that are very well stocked and provide exciting fishing adventures.
Hunting
BIRD HUNTING:
Spanning 1,000 acres in Browns Valley and managed for quality game bird cover, this location offers traditional bobwhite quail hunting in a plantation-style setting across diverse terrain. Grain Sorghum, Millet, Egyptian Wheat, Partridge Pea, and winter greens have been strategically planted to bolster the quail population. Additionally, pheasant can be included for a mixed bag hunt.
Guides are professional and passionate outdoorsmen with a background in quail hunting. Each guide oversees 5-8 incredibly well-trained dogs from their kennels, which include Pointers, Setters, and Brittany’s along with great Cocker Spaniel flushing dogs. Transportation is provided in specially modified jeeps tailored for hunters, typically accommodating 2 hunters per jeep, with the option for 3 if necessary.
DEER HUNTING:
Deer hunting entails hunting in a 700-acre trophy-managed, high-fence preserve specializing in natural game and wildlife management. The goal is to fulfill each hunter’s dream by producing quality trophy whitetail and offering the ultimate hunting experience. Hunts are conducted on a fully guided 1×1 basis, utilizing various methods such as comfortable 9×5 insulated shooting house, ladder stand, spot & stalk, or rattling. Ensuring hunters get a chance at their dream buck is the top priority.
The focus is on making a deer hunter’s dream come true by producing large deer and offering the ultimate hunting experience, often resulting in clients harvesting the largest deer of their lives. A supplemental feeding plan, along with warm and cool season food plots, aids in antler development and is believed to contribute to success.
Whether you prefer stand hunting, stalking, or rattling for a trophy buck, all options are available on the property. The shooting houses, accommodating four people comfortably, are ideal for hunting and are of superior quality. All hunts are conducted on a 1×1 guided basis.
There are two rut times on the property, in November and January, with rifle, muzzleloader, bow, and crossbow hunting permitted. If a deer is harvested early in the hunt, hunters have the option to continue hunting for cull bucks (guides choice) or add on a quail hunt without prior notice. Fishing is also available, though weather conditions may be cold.
