Happy 4th!!!

Happy 4th of July! While everyone else is enjoying the long weekend, we are hard at work. Bushhogging, cleaning roads, etc. - the hunting business is 365 days a year and not just the days "in season".

We got some rain today which is great for our corn that we have planted on 4 different tracts of land. The deer and turkeys (along with the raccoons, hogs, dove, etc.) seem very appreciative to us for planting such nice crops for them.

We're new to this!

Welcome to Pushmataha Plantation's newly created blog! Please bear with us as we are just learning how to do this stuff.

For those of you who are not familiar as to who we are, you can visit our website at http://www.alahunt.com/ to find out all about us. For those of you who are would prefer not to click on our website, here is the brief rundown:

We are a commercial hunting operation in southwest Alabama hunting whitetail deer, quail, dove, Eastern turkey and wild boar. We hunt 16,000 acres with terrain ranging from the Tombigbee River swamp to the hills of Naheola. If you are looking for a great opportunity to harvest a nice whitetail deer, Alabama has one of the most generous hunting seasons with bow season opening on October 15, our black powder season opening on November 17, and our rifle season opening on November 22.

We also have a special youth hunt that will be held on November 15 & 16. If you are interested in the youth hunt, our website, http://www.alahunt.com/ has more information. There are only 10 remaining spaces for the hunt and it is one of the more popular events at the lodge.

Our turkey season opens on March 15 and closes on April 30. If you are looking for an opportunity to take one of the elusive Eastern turkeys, we have them for you. We have an abudance of turkeys that are ready to challenge our expert guides calling skills and your shooting skills.

The next two weeks will be extremely busy for us. Beginning on Sunday, July 7, we will be hosting the sales meeting for the Outdoor Marketing Group. We are excited to be welcoming them to Pushmataha.

On Thursday, July 10, we will be headed to Lakeland, FL for the Southern Trophy Hunters' Big Buck Expo. If you are in the Orlando/Tampa area anytime between Friday, July 11 through Sunday, July 14, stop by The Lakeland Center and visit us.

Remember - it is not too early to finalize your deer hunts as some dates are filling up quickly.

Happy hunting and we hope to see you soon!
