Is Ft. Rucker part of the Barbour Co. management area? If not then you need to drive the few extra miles. There are a ton of deer down there. They have almost 19,000 acres of public land to hunt. It runs from Clayton to Uninion Springs and there are large deer and a large population of them too.

Ft. Rucker issouthwest ofthe Ozark area. The Barbour Co. Management Area is north of Clayton, probably 30 or more miles away..

I've got a buddy that hunts in Ozark and they kill huge deer every year. Alot bigger than the ones we have here in Russell & Lee counties. Big body deer too. I don't know what to tell ya'. You might want to try hunting Barbour Co. management area. It's beautiful. Do ya'll have a huge acorn crop this year? We are loaded with em' and it makes bow hunting tough.

Thanks to all for the overwhelming responses. I really appreciate the ideas and will explore some. One on One - Great deer! Tell your kid I said congrats! Also, thank you very much for your service, you're a great american!
