+ What do I need to know about Alabama’s hunting license?

Please visit this website for information about Alabama’s hunting license. You may also purchase a license online.

+ What's included in a guided hunt?

With a “One-on-One” hunt, we do everything for you including sitting with you in the stand. Also with “One-on-One” guide service, the guide can help you judge the size of your trophy whitetail before you shoot and they can also help you video the experience. “One-on-One Guide” service is included at no additional charge.

+ Can I expect to see a lot of quality deer?

Inside the Preserve it is not uncommon to see several very large Boone and Crocket racks every time you sit in the stand. Stone Creek Preserve is second to none in the South. We not only have excellent quality, but good numbers as well. We strictly limit the number of hunts each year to ensure that you see quality deer and a lot of them.

+ Do I have to pay a trophy?

Yes. Most Lodges charge you the same whether you kill a deer or not. Trophy fees are the best way to ensure that you only pay if you tag the buck you want. If you leave Stone Creek Preserve without a buck, all you will be out is your $1,000 deposit. It really makes more sense, and it is the fairest way to make sure everyone gets what they paid for.

+ My wife is not a hunter. Would she enjoy this trip?

Our lodge is equipped for the non-hunting guest, with a stocked kitchen, soaking tub, satellite TV, and a short distance to Auburn University and local shopping. She would also be very comfortable in the over-sized shooting houses should she decide to go out in the field with you. Feel free to bring any non-hunting guest – it’s a relaxing vacation!

+ I'd like to fly in. Do I have to rent a car?

No. We’re happy to pick you up at one of the area airports that serve this region and can arrange for that with you during the booking.

+ What should I bring? Will I be able to rent a gun or buy supplies?

We recommend you bring your own weapon. We do have a limited number of high quality firearms at the lodge that will be available in case the need arises. We will also be happy to take you to a local sporting goods superstore for you to purchase anything you need or may have forgotten. We recommend that you bring the following: All hunters should bring warm layered clothes, camouflage, good binoculars, flash light, water proof boots, warm gloves, warm socks, rain gear. Deer hunters should bring a rifle or bow, safety belt, rattling horns, grunts, scents and hunter orange (cap or vest). Fishermen will not need to bring anything unless you simply want to bring your favorite rod. All fishing equipment and bait will be furnished.

+ Can I buy Stone Creek Preserve souvenirs?

Yes. Our Gift Shop is loaded with numerous items for sale including hats, t-shirts, vest, jackets, golf shirts, long sleeve T’s and various other apparel for men, women and children.
