Serious about hunting trophy whitetail deer? The Alabama River Lodge in the heart of the Black Belt -- famed for its Boone-and-Crockett class bucks -- is a must. The Alabama River Lodge offers hunting on 12,000 acres of prime, privately owned plantation land along the Alabama River, just south of Selma and 45 minutes from the Montgomery airport. The comfortable new lodge is steps away from deer, turkey, and wingshooting in a fair chase environment.

The Hain-Beers family and friends have been bagging record-class deer on the land for generations. Long under a rigorous deer-management program, now the Alabama River Lodge offers you the same excellent hunting. Seasoned guides, roomy quarters and the true Southern hospitality of home cooking and good stories are hallmarks of the Alabama River Lodge.

The Alabama River Lodge was constructed in 1996, and features 5,000 square feet of modern accommodations. A spacious great hall is anchored by a brick fireplace. The kitchenette has a full bar for snacks and refreshments. Two lounge areas offer opportunity for private chats. Conference space is provided in the same area.

In the oldest Southern style, there is a free standing kitchen and dining area, separating the lodge from the distractions of meal preparation. Chicken, grilled hamburgers, gravy and biscuits, and other country vittles are served in generous portions. No long lines or waiting in a crowded bar. Just good food and plenty of it.

Coyote-skin Rug
Guests sleep in comfortable beds separated by full bath facilities. Linens and towels are provided. A washer/dryer is available to guests. The lodge can accomodate parties of thirty or more.

Take in a ball game on the satellite TV in the lounge, or relax upstairs in your room. Wooden rockers line a spacious porch. The occasional hoot of an owl or the howl of a coyote may interrupt the quiet night.
Corporate and private groups can take advantage of special rates. The lodge is perfect for retreats, parties, picnics and meetings. Meals can be prepared on the spot by Lodge staff -- steaks are a specialty. Or you can cook your own meals.

Close enough for convenience, but remote enough for privacy. Contact Bojie Beers for special pricing on group rates.

Guides and Staff

The guides and staff of the Alabama River Lodge want your stay to be relaxing and enjoyable. Of course, the first priority is to get you to your stand and ready to harvest some game! A close second is food, rest and relaxation. The rest is up to you.

Deer Hunting

Safe Shooting Houses
Hunting is from gun houses on green field plots, and safe ladder stands on trails, scrape lines, or rolling pasture land. At the Alabama River Lodge, 6,000 acres are reserved for trophy-buck harvesting only. Bucks of any size may be taken on the remaining land. Doe tags are available for use on all the land. January is the Central Alabama rutting season, but many outstanding bucks are harvested in November and December.

Green fields vary from 20 to 100 acres. They serve a dual purpose as plantings for wildlife and pasture for the Beers family cattle. The Alabama River Lodge operators consider the food plots a unique "crop" on the farm.

Beautiful Backwaters
The seed for food plots is selectively harvested from the farm itself. Special nutrients and fertilizers traditionally reserved for "cash crops" are applied to insure maximum development of the food plots and the wildlife feeding upon them. Great Hunting!
