At Hurricane Creek, the choice is yours...  "Trophy Hunt" or "Open Range Hunt"...

Our "Trophy Whitetail" hunt takes place inside our very large preserve.   With a Trophy Hunt you only pay if and when you harvest a deer.  The fee is based only on the size of the antlers.  The deer inside the preserve are managed to the extreme, and the harvest rate is tightly controlled. You will see deer ranging in age from 6 months to 6 years and older.  You will also see racks of all sizes, including some that top 200 inches.  It is not uncommon to see several Boone and Crocket racks every time you sit in the stand. This is quality deer management at its best!  Don't worry about shooting the wrong deer.  One on one guide service is available and the guide will help you judge the deer in the field.  It is his job to help you get the right deer for you.   

We also offer "Open Range" hunts outside the preserve.  If you choose an Open Range hunt, you pay a flat fee per day and there is never a trophy fee, regardless of what you harvest.  We have some of the best whitetail land in our area and Alabama is known for having a very dense deer population.  Alabama law allows each hunter to harvest multiple bucks and does each season!  With an Open Range hunt you can expect to see a lot of deer and the occasional good buck.  There have been some "150 class" and larger deer taken in our area, but realistically with the liberal harvest laws in our state, a 130 class buck or less is a the more common trophy.  We allow you to shoot any 8-point buck or better and one doe.  You can harvest a 2nd buck, but it must be better than your 1st.  See the FAQ's page for more details on our Open Range harvest rules.  

One on One Guide Service is available with either hunt you choose, but we only recommended it on the Trophy Hunt.  With One on One Guide service, we will sit with you in the stand, help video the experience and help you judge the size of your trophy in the field. (There is a fee associated with fully guided hunts and we only recommended it on Trophy Hunts)  If you choose a "Semi-Guided" hunt, we will still do everything for you except sit with you while you hunt.  We will drop you off at a stand, give you a few tips, and pick you up at a time you specify. When you harvest a deer, just sit back and relax...we do all the work.  Our guides are completely familiar with the lay of the land, and with the habits of the deer.  We will do our best to ensure your success.

Our Trophy Hunters and Open Range Hunters will both enjoy numerous stands located over food plots and along travel routes in the hardwoods.  We recommend hunting the travel routes in the mornings and food plots late afternoon  Our entire staff will do all we can get you the trophy you're after and make this a hunt of a lifetime.

Deer hunting is always unpredictable, however we are confident that you will be pleased with the game you see.  After that, it's all up to you!
