Whitetail Deer Hunting

Westervelt lodge offers free range whitetail deer hunting and is known as one of the premier hunting lodges in the country.

When it comes to southern hunting traditions, we take great pride in offering the finest white-tailed deer hunting in Alabama. Whitetail deer hunts are only as successful as the area’s wildlife management plan. At Westervelt Lodge we have managed our deer habitat since the lodge property was purchased over 74 years ago. Successful whitetail hunts also depend on a myriad of factors; we optimize all the factors we can control to ensure you will want to return to the lodge for many years to come. Westervelt Lodge is proud to offer deer hunting packages to accommodate your hunting experience:

Deer hunting for single hunters
Deer hunting for small groups or families
Deer hunting for corporate events
Deer hunting for pairs or couples
Deer hunting for larger parties

Our unique combination of managed prime habitat, ideal population level, and modern wildlife management techniques ensure a quality, natural free-range deer herd. We have been actively managing to improve wildlife habitat since we purchased the lodge property in 1951. For decades our property has been renowned as one of the finest whitetail deer hunting properties in the Southeast.

Our landscape is designed and managed for hunting and sustainability. Depending on recently observed whitetail deer activity, mast crop abundance, or the current stage of the rut, our guests will hunt in a variety of ways: sturdy ladder stands positioned in bottoms, tripods and elevated blinds overlooking hub and spokes, clear-cuts, or shooting houses located on one of our many wildlife food plots.
