I hunt the foothills of the Appalachians here in Alabama, and my land is mostly very steep ridges with fingers and hollows goin in all directions down to the riverbottom fields. It's great land and very fun to hunt once you get the hang of it. I've been huntin it since I was 7 with my dad and granddad, by myself since I was 16, so I've learned a lot.....not an expert, never will be, but I have consistent success. I've also hunted Talladega NF a little bit and that's definitely the toughest terrain in Alabama, it's demanding. Bdosas is on track, as I hunt saddles about 50% of the time I'm hunting the woods and see does almost every single time I go. The other 50% in the woods is given to stands where I find a nice rub or scrapeline goin up a ridge from an oak bottom, and there's always good buck sign, just gotta find it. I only hunt fields and food plots about 10% of the time, either early gun season taking out does, or during our late rut in January. It's tough hunting sometimes, as you may setup too far down a ridge and have the deer come up the side at an angle and come out behind you, but that's where scoutin comes into play. The main key to success when hunting terrain like this is scouting and finding that main trail does prefer to use year after year. As for trail cams, I have had very little success putting mine in the woods on a trail. I really only use mine for preseason "scouting" just to see what kinda deer I have. I'll put it down in a creek bottom over a little corn where two or three hollows meet. I get many many good pictures and a good idea of my herd. I DO NOT and never will hunt over corn like many down here, I hate it. The club next to me does that and it makes me so mad. When season comes in I stop all feeding and let em forage, if I don't I won't see as many deer because they only come out at night and gorge on corn, turns em nocturnal quick and you'll waste your time hunting. Judging by my pics over the years, even you were to hunt over the corn you won't seem during the day like I said. During season I'll put it out over a white salt lick, which is legal, and I'll get some pretty good pics. As soon as season's over I start puttin out a little more corn and my camera. SCOUT SCOUT SCOUT. Don't wait too late to start!
