Hunting is from gun houses on green field plots, and safe ladder stands on trails, scrape lines, or rolling pasture land. At the Alabama River Lodge, 6,000 acres are reserved for trophy-buck harvesting only. Bucks of any size may be taken on the remaining land. Doe tags are available for use on all the land. January is the Central Alabama rutting season, but many outstanding bucks are harvested in November and December.
Green fields vary from 20 to 100 acres. They serve a dual purpose as plantings for wildlife and pasture for the Beers family cattle. The Alabama River Lodge operators consider the food plots a unique "crop" on the farm.
The seed for food plots is selectively harvested from the farm itself. Special nutrients and fertilizers traditionally reserved for "cash crops" are applied to insure maximum development of the food plots and the wildlife feeding upon them.
