Like I said, no skin off my back because i didn't pay anything. Their website is listed under black belt hunting.com so somebody is lying.

Ive hunted a lot in Union Springs and in Clayton, which is in Barbour. Always killed big deer. But thats on private land.

You may be right about the definition of the black belt, but I think most people (with some exceptions) think of the area in the western portion to be where the largest deer are.

Barbour has a more restrictive buck rules than anywhere else in the state. It would be a top 3 county for me to choose to hunt in the state.

Dallas, Lowndes, Wilcox, Marengo, Autauga, Montgomery is what I think of when someone says black belt. Barbour county is more of the wiregrass area of the state. The aforementioned counties are river counties and they are full of farmland and oak trees. That is some of the best hunting in the southeast
That said I've seen some monsters come out of Barbour county, they just aren't as plentiful as produced in the river counties on the west side of the state. My dad has a 220 pound 9 point hanging on the wall that came out of Barbour county.

Barbour is just out of the Wiregrass, thats Coffee, Dale, Geneva and Houston, all those shitty ones. Black Belt refers to the soil, look at Barbour County, its a peanut Mecca. Great farming in that area.

I've hunted for years in Pike County and Bullock County there in the Black Belt. Biggest I ever killed was a massive 8 point in Pike. Hunted hardwood bottoms, harvested peanut fields, corn fields, etc. Never did even try to hunt pine thickets unless I was tryin to catch deer comin and goin. Those pine straw thickets are a great place to catch a nap,too!

Yea I know but it's got a lot more pines than the west central part of the state. Barbour is borderline wiregrass, we had some land there growing up.
As far as subject of the OP, athletes and celebrities pay to hunt every year in Lowndes county, or they did when I was a kid. There was a buck masters expo there every year. The lodge on highway 80 between selma and Montgomery around Tyler and Benton. Got Chipper Jones autograph there one year

So the OP hunted either Shenandoah, Black Creek or with Great Southern Outdoors.

Wiregrass is the area surrounding Dothan (where I grew up). Black belt is typically thought of as Montgomery and westward. Barbour County is Eufaula/Union Springs, and I've got some in-laws there as well. They don't hunt that area. They go towards Montgomery instead.

I hunt barbour every year. In fact leaving tomorrow for my annual trip to my buddies place. I love going over there. Lots of deer and some quality bucks in my opinion.

Barbour has some crazy pine plantations, we had leases for years there till we moved over to Georgia.

I'm from Greene County, AL, but I currently live in Collierville, TN. I pay to hunt a buddy's land in Tate County, MS because it's 45 minutes from the house, but I drive to my family land in Greene County at least twice a month during deer season. There are a lot of big deer in Greene/Sumter Counties along the Tombigbee and in Hale County along the Black Warrior, but I can't speak for the rest of the Black Belt.

No shite, where about? That's where my land is and my mom's hometown (mine is Eutaw, right down the road).

quick story about Barbour County, at least the state land around Eufaula.
Years back my old man was fishing somewhere in the Cowikee Creek area on opening day of bow season down there one morning.
Just after daylight he hears brush breaking and proceeds to watch two of the biggest bucks he has ever seen, a 9pt and a 12pt, come out of the state land less than 30 yds away hit the water and swim to a nearby island not much larger than your average three bedroom house.
Said they piled into the middle of that island and bedded down. To this day he swears neither deer had the slightest look of concern. Acted as if it was business as usual for them.
That defines public land bucks right there fellas.
