NW Alabama hunting

[baydog]

Has anyone ever hunted up there. I will be there a few days before Christmas and am looking for something to kill. Any ideas?

expect gadwall to be in your bag.

Around Guntersville can be productive. It is mostly open water hunting, so a bluebird day can be VERY frustrating.

Scottsboro (Jackson County) also has a couple of WMA's that will hold ducks of the weather is right.


And as said above, I hope you like Gadwall.

The Tn river around Decatur is good. Big water hunting and like has been said, gadwalls are your filler. If you hit the flats off of the main river channel, watch out for stump fields. I haven't hunted up there since college but killed blacks, bigofatassgreenhead ducks, gadwalls, occasional woodies and there are or were some cans up there as well.

Thanks guys. Any ideas on a guide or anything. I will be alone, with no one that hunts nor has a boat.

I dont know of any guides but you could call

Big Daddy's Outdoors
52680 US Hwy 72
Bridgeport, AL 35740-6590
(256) 495-9225

It is about the only sporting goods store in the area. They may be able to point you in the right direction. I know they have all the WMA permits and things like that so they may can point you to a guide.

Good Luck.
