Sign in to contribute

Lauderdale County follows the Tennessee River corridor in NW Alabama, with Wilson and Wheeler reservoir shorelines, broad floodplain bottoms, and agricultural uplands creating a diverse hunting landscape. Waterfowl hunting on the reservoir system is a seasonal highlight, with mallards and dabblers using the river during migration. Whitetail deer in the river bottoms and agricultural edges give hunters the rare combination of deer and duck opportunity within a single county.

Terrain & elevation

NW Alabama Tennessee River corridor with Wilson and Wheeler reservoir shorelines, broad floodplain bottoms, agricultural uplands, and limestone-influenced terrain. The river system creates extensive wetland and shallow-water habitat attractive to both waterfowl and whitetail deer.

Hunting pressure

Moderate. Waterfowl hunting draws regional pressure to the reservoir areas during migration; upland deer hunting on private agricultural land is competitive with limited lease availability.

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter tags under statewide Alabama regulations.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting on Wheeler and Wilson reservoirs is a seasonal highlight with mallards and other dabblers using the river system during fall migration. Wild turkey hunting in the bottomlands and agricultural edges is productive in spring and fall.

Highlights

Tennessee River corridor waterfowl hunting on Wheeler and Wilson reservoirs during fall migration; river bottom whitetail hunting in Lauderdale bottomlands combines deer and duck opportunity in a single productive county.
