  1. The South Is Famed For Its Deer Hunting In different states of the American South, and specifically a state such as Alabama with its fertile soil and habitat conducive to raising quality buck and doe’s, white-tailed deer hunting is popular and the best lodges sought-after. The so-called Black Belt that stretches across central Alabama and parts of Mississippi is a region that is known for its dark soil on which crops grow well, which hunting lodge owners also benefit from as the habitat on this fertile plain is ideal for raising quality deer herds. Great forage and good water sources, and often good shelter for animals help to create the perfect circumstances for the animals to thrive. That is why hunters from within the state – but also from much further out – are keen to visit and find a great lodge at which they can enjoy their favorite pastime and other recreational activities. Having an ideal environment is a good start for a successful hunting lodge, but this factor alone will not guarantee success. Hunting lodges all over the US compete, and only the really good ones will make a success. This means that, in addition to great climate and positive environmental factors, a lot of work has to be done to outshine the others and be the preferred lodge for hunters looking for the perfect hunt. So, what are the important factors that lodge owners have to consider to create the ideal opportunity for their guests and hunters that help keep them in business? Firstly, it is good to have great vegetation and water for the animals, but owners of lodges also have to put in place systems to ensure that these animals, such as deer, remain on the land and do not wander off. This means having to make sure that the balance between animals and habitat is not disturbed so that the animals do not compete for forage and shelter on the one hand, and to ensure that senseless culling and shooting out of herds, on the other hand, do not compromise the size of herds. This will ensure that hunters have the best chance to be offered quality animals, good trophies and fine meat, for example. In order to achieve this balance and equilibrium, the astute lodge owner goes out of their way to employ those personnel that can advise them about best practice. In fact, they employ wildlife biologists that understand issues such as weather patterns, availability of forage, movement of herds and all of those factors that affect the size and quality of herds. They employ managers to ensure they have a business that runs like a well-oiled machine, with the effect that the hunter is offered a great hunt which they will cherish. This interaction between environmental factors and proper management plans ensures, in the end, that hunters visit a certain lodge and avoid others. This is true all over the world where hunting is offered as recreational activity, whether your hunting trip takes you to Africa, or to Georgia and Aliceville, Alabama for that matter. Of course every hunter wants to know, too, that when they arrive at the lodge of their choice, they will be given every support to ensure they have the best chance at success. Issues related to, say, being delivered to good hunting positions, placement of ladder stands, elevated blinds and shooting houses are important for the hunter that wants to make the best of their visit. Hands-on support from staff and management goes a long way towards making the desired impression on visiting hunters. The good lodges know this; therefore they quickly discern themselves from others, and they make sure that their hunters leave with a positive impression after the deer hunt trip – so that they return the next season.
