You're kidding me! How weird to see the name Lower Peach Tree on a national website. LOL! My family owns a lot of land along the Alabama river just down the road in Packers Bend. We heard a total of 28 different birds gobbling last season on our place. Can't wait to get out there and harrass them again this year.

An all Bama team would be awesome. And you should really look at getting a custom call, instead of the mass production calls. It really makes a world of difference.

Thats funny. I couldn't believe what i saw when i got there. It is literally just a gas station and a burned down building that got a name designated to it from the looks of it. LOL I didnt expect anyone to recognize that name. The place im hunting is split. 600 acres on the river and 400 2 miles down the road of pines. We hearda few gobbling every morning, and never stepped foot on the river property last year. Ended up killing a nice longbeard, and some old man that has permission to turkey hunt in return for patrolling the propertyhad already killed his 5 longbeards by the time i arrived. It is a deer lease of my dads good friend, and since they dont turkey hunt, I am free to go whenever i want during the spring. I am heading earlier in the season thisyearand spending every day hunting the wooded river bottoms in stead of the pines on the other farm.

I agree, an all Alabama team would be awesome.

Hey Arjuna,

I am from Indiana but come down to Rucker every year on my Spring Break to hunt. Do they still have all those areas closed that they shut down last year. You probably know John Clancy or Jergy the game warden?

Arjuna

I'm not sure which areas you are talking about. They always have some areas closed for training. You have to call in the hunt-trac system to find out which ones. I don't really know the game warden at rucker. I know the Geneva County game wardens much betterbecause I hunt more private land than public. This year I hope to do more at Rucker.

Parrot Head

Last year they closed a bunch of areas for good. Of course they were the ones I hunted most. You still had to call in and check to see what was open and then to check in and out. I cant wait to eat at the 231 b-b-que. I eat there every day it is open, man it is good.

You are probably not going to believe this but Lower Peach Tree used to be alarge town about 100 years ago. It was once a major port of call for river boats on the Alabama river. It had it's own newspaper and was big enough to support the practice of 4 doctors. A huge and extremely powerful Tornado completely wiped it off the face of the earth back in 1913. The entire place looked like a plowed field. By 1913 the river boatera was pretty much over and done with so there was just no reason to rebuild the place after the storm. Little bit of trivia for you there that your family and fellow hunting buddies may not know.
