Turkey season is something that many look forward to each year. There is nothing like hearing a gobbler out in the nearby fields or woods and heading out for a hunt. Unfortunately, it seems that each year more restrictions are placed on where you can hunt publicly, and having quality private land is not always an option. If you want to enjoy turkey season in a safe, fun environment, you should visit Westervelt Lodge.

Westervelt Lodge is located in Alabama but a great location for those across the south and beyond to visit. They own over 12,000 acres of land in the nutrient rich Tombigbee River bottom. Though they manage their land effectively, the area itself is the ideal location for wild turkey on its own. Not to mention, they have added miles of roadside management zones, which give turkeys an option for nesting and brooding each year.

It seems that each year, the number of turkeys found in the Westervelt Lodge area increases and they work diligently to keep this land designed for your hunting needs. You will find a multitude of pine and hardwood stands that are perfect for hunting wild turkey. Though the turkey here seem abundant, guests are limited to one longbeard gobbler per day. This allows them to better manage the population and watch it grow greater for future hunts.

One reason that many avoid attending hunts at lodges is simply because they are scared that there will not be enough privacy or space for their group. As you can tell, Westervelt Lodge has an abundance of land as is, but they also guarantee that each guest has their fair share. Depending on your group size, you will receive 800 to 1,000 acres to hunt. With the amount of turkey on their land, this almost guarantees that you will get a shot at a gobbler.

Steven Carroll, Manager of Westervelt Lodge, commented, “We have designed our land to be a paradise for turkey and manage this land to continue positive growth each year. When you visit our lodge, you can get as much or as little help with your hunt as you need. Beginner turkey hunters can work one-on-one to get extensive help, while veteran hunters can get landscape knowledge. We want you and your group to have the hunt of your dreams and can help you at any point during the booking and hunting process.”

Westervelt Lodge began hosting organized deer hunts all the way back in November of 1951. The lodge has grown into 12,000 private acres of amazing hunting land located in West Alabama. The land is frequently managed and maintained to ensure the greatest quality of wildlife. Guests can pursue and harvest a variety of wildlife, including free range whitetail deer and wild turkeys. They offer a variety of accommodations and rates to fit your specific hunting desires. You can also have various events at the lodge, including weddings, conferences, and more.
