I hunt in Alabama and the good thing about hunting Bama is that our season last until January 31st every year and our rut don't start until about mid January. So you can hunt your home state and then come to Bama in January and still catch the rut. Look into the Tuskegee National Forest in Tuskegee,AL. I hunt there and have hunted there for almost 20 years now. There are plenty of camp spots to camp out and there are some really nice deer there.... plus in Bama all you need is a hunting license and you can take 3 bucks.... one has to have atleast 4 points on one side but the other 2 are pick and choose what you want.
