The American South is famed for the opportunities it offers the whitetail deer hunter, the wing-shooter and the wild turkey hunter. Therefore, hunters and shooters book hunting trips to the region’s hunting lodges every year ahead of time to avoid disappointment. One of these, Westervelt Lodge, is famed for the quality of animals that can be hunted, as well as for the facilities and services that the lodge offers.

Westervelt Lodge manager, Steven Carroll, when interviewed at their Aliceville, AL destination, said, “Our lodge has been popular for many years with those individuals and groups whose passion hunting eastern wild turkey is. They consider a visit to us as a special event on the calendar. Our turkey numbers keep growing, and several turkey hunters return to us season after season for another successful outing.”

Westervelt Lodge, as part of the greater Westervelt company, ensures that they have in place all the important systems and methodologies that support raising healthy animals on their lands. To this end the Lodge employs the services of well-educated, experienced wildlife biologists and support staff that ensure that the best management practices are employed to ensure that the animals can roam in the ideal habitat which, ultimately, benefits the paying hunter who arrives with high hopes of leaving with quality deer and birds.

Therefore, managers and staff make sure that the habitat is managed to provide enough food, water and cover for the animals to want to stay in this area, and on the property. Turkey, specifically, is well suited to habitat that offers, for example, pine and hardwood environments, close proximity to water and the forage that this animal thrives on. Managers keep a close eye on the size of the turkey population, which is why they, currently, set the limit on one longbeard per day per hunter.

Hunters are accompanied by experienced guides - one-on-one - that know where these animals roam, and to ensure that all hunters honor all important safety requirements while out there. These guides offer years of experience and show beginners all the ropes while they also offer tips to the experienced turkey hunter,
In addition to the Lodge being one of the South’s top destinations for turkey hunting in Alabama, they are equally popular with deer hunters and wing-shooters, many of whom return year after year for another successful outing to Westervelt Lodge.
