Hunter, myself and Jim Mays of McCalla Alabama spent a great day hunting the Demopolis, (David K. Nelson) Wildlife Management Area. With two squirrel dogs and a lot of energy we took down 12 with Hunter doing most of the damage. Demopolis WMA is rich in game. If you like swamps, slues, and thickets, Demopolis may be the place for you. Most of the access is by boat only. It is an extra step but worth the effort. Most hunting pressure is on the most easily accessed property of course but if you are willing to adventure, thousands of acres await with generally low hunting pressure. From highway 59 south take the Union or "Dog Track" exit. Take a left and go to the stop sign. There you take a right. Stay on that road and turn left at the Eutaw Bait and Tackle sign. At the second stop sign make a left. Go and veer right onto Highway 43. Take 43, through deer country, all the way into Forkland. Leaving Forkland turn left just before you cross the railroad tracks going towards the Alabama Power Steam Plant. Stay on that road and the boat launch is on your left.
Other hunter's were dog hunting on the property but we didn't see them after first light. At lunch when we returned, they were gone. Don't let hunting pressure push you away. Hunt it like you own it because, acutally you do. It is state land.
In the picture above, Hunter zeros his 20 guage on a squirrel high in the top of a Water Oak tree. Right after this picture was taken, a large, fat, Gray Squirrel tumbled to the ground. Good job Hunter! And thanks Jim for bringing your excellent dogs and yourself.
