Water Valley Lodge offers some of the finest Alabama whitetail deer hunting, Alabama turkey hunting, Alabama wild boar hunting and Alabama quail hunting in the Southeast.

Located in Choctaw County Alabama, our whitetail deer population is one of the largest in the whole state of Alabama. Alabama WHITETAIL DEER season opens October 15 and runs through January 31. We hunt 30,000 acres of privately owned, quality deer managed property. Due to the size of our deer herd, you will find bucks in rut throughout the entire season. The January rut is a favorite of many hunters. Not only does Alabama offer a January season, but our deer are rutting in January as well. It doesn’t get any better than this. Water Valley Lodge offers generous limits as well. You are allowed ONE BUCK EACH DAY (up to 3/season), ONE DOE with a 3 day hunt and TWO DOES with a 4 day hunt and unlimited HOGS, COYOTES and BOBCATS at NO additional cost. WATER VALLEY LODGE does not have any trophy fees.

ALABAMA HOG HUNTING - Although there is a year round season on wild boar in Alabama, Water Valley hunts hogs during specific dates. We’ve found that the best time to hunt them is late February (20th) through April 30 and September 1 – October 14. There are NO LIMITS on the sex or the size or the number of hogs you take.

ALABAMA TURKEY HUNTING - Water Valley Lodge offers prime habitat for turkey hunting. Our Alabama Turkey season runs from March 15 through April 30. Our hunts are fully guided. You are assigned a guide who will know the layout of the land, will have turkeys located and will call the turkey for you if you wish. You are allowed one turkey each day, with a maximum of 5 per season. Our turkey hunters enjoy private rooms with private bathrooms at no additional cost.

ALABAMA QUAIL HUNTING - In Southern tradition, beginning October 1, 2007, Water Valley Lodge will offer bobwhite quail and pheasant hunting. Kennels are available for those who want to bring their own dogs or you will be able to use our well trained dogs as well.

Rack and Spur has some of the finest hunting land in central Alabama. Our Alabama woods are full of mature oak bottoms, pine plantations, creek bottoms, and is bordered by approximately 2.5 miles of the Tallapoosa River. The land has been in the quality deer management program since 1987. We have land for the first time hunter as well as the trophy hunter. Rack and Spur is a very family orientated hunting facility. Over the years, fathers, sons, mothers, and daughters have enjoyed the hunting experience on our land. We encourage family hunting but we also cater to the avid sportsman who is in search of that trophy animal.

Alabama Hunting Environment: Our soil is nourished throughout the year with special planting and mixtures for optimal animal growth.

Hunting in Alabama: Alabama has some of the best Whitetail and Wild turkey hunting in the southeast. Rack and Spur Hunting Lodge is located in a relatively undeveloped part of Alabama, and our lodge is located on one of the largest unbroken tracts of land in the southeast. Being known for its big bucks and large turkeys, Rack and Spur Hunting Lodge, with its fine accommodations, is the place to plan your next Alabama hunt.

We have numerous sites available for hunting. Our hunting houses are sturdy and will accommodate from 1 to 4 hunters. Hunters may bring their own stand. Safety is a priority at Rack and Spur and there will always be a safe distance between hunters. Our fields/soil is nourished throughout the year. Our spring and summer planting consists of corn, soybeans and cow horn peas. Winter planting consists of a high protein mixture that has been developed over the last 20 years.

All hunters and guests will stay in a 2 story plantation home which is 160+ years old. The house sleeps 10 comfortably with all bed linens provided. There are 2 full baths with all towels provided. Other amenities include satellite TV, telephone, and mini refrigerators. Alabama Southern hospitality is our goal by providing breakfast, lunch, and supper the entire hunt to all hunters and guests.
