Alabama turkey

[Narf]

Hi everyone, I have s business trip to Birmingham end of March. I am thinking about staying the weekend and getting my turkey season started. Question is, how is the turkey hunting on public land down there? My quick searching didn't turn up much ground and my concern is heavy pressure. Anyone have experience or advice? I'm all ears. Thanks!

Very heavily pressured. At least the land I hunt is. You got all the public land you can hunt about 45 mins east down i20. I suggest staying in oxford after your business is done with if you can. Pm me if you need anything. I hunt all around there ill help you anyway I can. Good luck.

What land do you hunt? I hunt the Talladega Nation Forest in Maplesville. Not a whole lot of pressure there after first 2 weeks.

I hunt the Forest Land in Maplesville also.  It has not been as crowded the last couple years as it has been.  But that's because not as many turkeys been gobbling.  Let the turkeys start gobbling real good & it will get crazy in a hurry!

I heard pretty decent gobbling last year. I hunt mainly around the fire tower back towards the hanging tree.

I hunted the front side & back side last year. Killed one past the hunters camp on the right from Perry Mt. coming from Hwy 183. They were some turkeys gobbling but not as many as in the past.  Seems like they go through phases maybe real good one year & then not so good the next.  About 3 or 4 years ago I never heard so many gobbling over there & the hunters were all over that place! Maybe I'll see you this Spring.
