[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 3197878, member: 10019"] I cannot speak for all of Alabama, but I did just get back from the Talladega NF in the Oakmulgee district. We hunted hard for two days and seen no more than a 2 dozen birds, this includes the driving as well. Once we crossed back into to TN, birds were everywhere...I have no idea what the answer is on that. AL birds so far are the hardest I have hunted, I hunted public land granted...however, I did not run into one single hunter either. Long leaf pine ridges that were thicker than any CRP field I have ever seen dominated the area, next in line of typical habitat would be controlled burn pine stands, the lastly hardwood slopes/bottom land...very little open ground. I did not hunt the WMA's because they cease hunting at noon, but Oakmulgee and Cahaba WMA's are supposed to be real good (I had a run in with a wildlife officer and he suggested we hunt the WMA's). Being a rookie to AL, I would say "there aint no birds in Bama" and my sightings would suggest that. But I know for sure they are there, just finding them is the key...obviously right???? We did kill a bird, but we hunted harder than we usually do. AL is just completely different hunting than TN/KY like I am used to. They may have more birds, but I didnt see them and everyone we talked too wouldnt suggest that either...so that leads me to believe the majority of the birds are located in a core area (maybe the black belt region). So here is the question...what are the top counties for AL and are they in the same core area? [/QUOTE]
