I had the honor and privilege to hunt two spectacular properties down south last week. My long time hunting buddy & I set off from north Alabama for the three & a half hour drive down to Wilcox & Lowndes counties. The two properties belong to two separate families which are friends of ours. Both farms are extremely well managed for deer & turkey and it is always a joy to see new ground. This is pine country with big mature hardwood bottoms.



We hunted hard the first two days, working gobblers, but not connecting. We then moved over a county and hunted a couple more days.



On the last morning I finally found a turkey that wanted to play and called in a nice old swamp gobbler. It was just icing on the cake for a wonderful time visiting friends and spending time on their fabulous farms.

Congrats on your bird!
There is something magical about hunting new ground.

Congrats on the bird and visits etc.
"mature pine woods" Looks more like a Fg
jungle to me! Yep, always enjoyable to wander around in new areas, especially with friends.

Am happy for you,
George
