Piney Woods Hunting Preserve - Lodge

Where to start. Me and my wife and a family friend made a 3 day hunt. I have been going on hunts for several years. Mr. Will and Joana were the best guides and host I have hunted with not to mention Mr. Will's mom's cooking. Words cant describe it book a hunt and find out first hand. Now we did not kill a deer, but we seen deer every set. Second morning Jimmy seen over 33 deer. Seen multiply bucks but did not meet the criteria Mr. Will has put in place to produce 130 + bucks. We will continue going back to Piney Woods as long as Mr. Will will have us. 5-Star all the way around lodge is spot less, made us fill at home from the time we got out of the truck.

Piney Woods is an awesome place to hunt. Will and his staff work year round so that you can have a successful hunting experience. They make you feel like family.

Pineywoods in Troy Al is a fair chase open range trophy deer hunting preserve and a great place to bag a spring gobbler! It has a Beautiful lodge and great food served in a family atmosphere. The Curtis family who own the preserve are wonderful friendly people. I have hunted there several times. I have harvested one buck and several turkeys over the past few years!

Will and Jonah, I just want to thank you again for such an amazing 4 day hunt this past weekend! From the moment we got out of our truck we were welcomed with such open arms and that loving southern hospitality! The lodge is absolutely STUNNING and SO CLEAN! The cleanest lodge I have ever stayed in! Also, THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD! Will and his family really go out of their way to make such amazing breakfast’s, lunches and dinners and do everything they can to make you feel at home! This was my Husband’s and I first “trophy hunt” and we are 100% coming back next year! Seen over 200 deer in 4 days, absolutely beautiful acres too! For ‘SID’s 1 star review he left down below just know he completed disrespected Will’s rules and home. So go ahead and ignore that because when you’re welcomed in someone’s home, you follow their rules! True hunters know that. Will and family, thank you again for welcoming us into your home! See you all next year! Much love! Courtney & Jason January 6, 2025

I’ve been hunting with Will and crew for almost a decade and will continue to do so until I hang up my hunting boots. The experience they offer is absolutely top notch. Starting with the lodge and accommodations because I’m a bit of a neat freak. The lodge is always spotless as they clean it every day. I love the “no shoes inside” policy! All rooms, beds, and bathrooms are immaculate. You never have to worry about food at all. They keep a great snack, sandwich, and drink supply to take to the stands and the dinners are what I look forward to at the end of each day! I actually text pics of the dinners to my wife to make her jealous! As for the hunting, you will not find a better free range hunt in Alabama (or the south). These guys work all year to create the best hunting experience and it shows. Each stand or box blind is as clean as it gets. All are obviously kept up and in great condition if they aren’t brand new (which many are new). Every spot has great views, food plots, and feeders. I have never had a sit without seeing deer. Even when the weather doesn’t cooperate and you don’t expect to see movement, you will. I just can’t say enough about this outfit. It bothers be that they have any negative reviews. If you are looking for a guaranteed shot at a 200” deer, you’re clueless on hunting prices and shouldn’t be free range hunting in Alabama. Also, booking in advance means you’re rolling the dice on weather and other variables. Will and Jonah do everything they can to make sure each hunter has the opportunity at a mature buck. Owning a small business myself I’m aware that anyone can leave a negative review and there’s just no pleasing some people. I really do feel fortunate to have gotten in with these guys when I did. My rut at home usually ends in December so I’m always grateful to have this late season action. If you’re lucky enough to find available dates, book them before they are gone.
