Phenix City Alabama, Columbus Georgia Hunting

[Cavscout9753]

I don't "know" many of the members here but I thought there are maybe some who live near me who hunt. I have access of course to Ft Benning for all hunting needs, but this year I would like to bring my oldest son (9) out hunting. Not to shoot, but just to join and learn. I just don't trust some of the trigger-happy hunters on Ft Benning and plus I would like to use a blind so he can squirm around like small kids are probe to do after long periods of sitting, and the blind would be stolen in a day or two. I know its a long shot, but if anyone in the area around me can help I'd be willing to work something out. The closest WMA is quite a ways, besides it would be much of the same. I am of course only talking trad bow hunting, no guns. Not looking for trophy animals or anything either. Just a peaceful place to teach my son about hunting without being bothered. Haha, isn't that everyone's goal??  Sorry this isn't likely the best place to ask this but I know anything that comes from here is certainly on the level and craigslist kind of creeps me out. Plus, I don't really have $1,500 for a lease at the present. Thanks regardless, happy shooting and hunting everyone!

I don't know about Benning but most posts don't allow rifle hunting and bow hunting at the same time. What does the post Cir say? It has been awhile but while with the MTU always saw some nice deer on the know distance firing ranges behind the pits. Seeing they have to be in the range fan they may allow hunting there. I know at Ft. Sill they allowed hunting around the ranges except when Range Control has training requirements.

Well because of the pigs you can have both gun and bow at the same time. There's a contonement area hunting but the qualifying shoot is at a further distance than I shoot. No worries. Thanks for your reply, it'll all sort itself out in the end. It was worth a shot! Haha
