QUAIL HUNTING GUIDES, LODGES & CLUBS | GUIDED QUAIL HUNTS

About Water Valley Lodge

Water Valley Lodge offers some of the finest QUAIL hunting, TURKEY hunting, WHITETAIL DEER hunting and WILD BOAR hunting in the Southeast.

Located in Choctaw County Alabama, we hunt QUAIL 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.

TURKEY HUNTING - Water Valley Lodge offers prime habitat for turkey hunting. Our 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.

WHITETAIL DEER HUNTING - 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.

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.

About Texas Varmint Hunting

Texas Blue Quail Hunting offers wild Blue Quail Hunting in West Texas. Hunts are conducted by ATV's Kawasaki Mules or Polaris Rangers on only wild birds we drive the roads and spot covies feeding then exit the hunting vehicle and either turn out a couple of English Pointers or just hunt them by sight. Then we put down a retriever and gather up the blue quail after the covey rise.

The Blue Quail are numerous in West Texas an average day will be 25 - 35 covies and the covies are big with 20-30 birds per covey. We usually hunt three to four hours in the morning and three to four hours in the evening. The landscape is typical West Texas Desert country with lots of thorns and brush but with a good mix of hills and draws.

The ranch we are hunting is very large 120,000 acres, 180 sections or 180 square miles. With that in mind there is no way to over hunt the ranch it is simply too large to cover in one season. We are seeing great numbers of birds right now they are all pared up and breeding.The rains have come and all the tanks and pods are full this is the best spring we have had in fifteen years so the Blue Quail crop should be very good in 2007-2008.

You will see lots of game Javelina, Desert Mule Deer, Coyotes and Wild Boar on your hunt. We are a full service agency providing discriminating sportsmen like yourself. Our goal is to provide you the best sporting experience available at the best price possible.
