Do your research on outfitter and area to make sure you will be there during the rut. Due to AL's restocking of deer in the 50's and 60's different parts of the state have different rut times. A few parts of the state experience the rut during Thanksgiving, while others see action in Jan and Feb (season extended until Feb 10th).

I recommend looking in the Blackbelt region and hogs are always a bonus.
