does anyone have any experience hunting deer and turkey in the big black river bottom near canton? i'm looking at buying a chunk of land down there. i was gonna drive down to go take a look at the property, but i didn't want to waste my time. if anybody has anything helpful, i'd appreciate it.

p.s. - and to the guy that is just itching to say something - yes, i'm am, in fact, aware that this is a waterfowl forum.

it has great hunting. that part of madison county produces some of the largest whitetails in the state.

best deer hunting in the state... great turkeys too

I have hunted in this area my whole life. If you would like specific info on the area in question shoot me a PM. Generally speaking the areas of the big black that have been managed well produce some good bucks, turkeys are scattered throughout the area but spring flooding hurts the hatch and causes ups and downs with the population.

Sucks stay HOME

If ya need a hunting partner sometimes give me a shout. That area has some great hunting. As for the turkeys i dont even care bout pullin the trigger.Have calls and killer B will travel

If you have a good price and can afford it, JUMP ON IT!!! YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!

Born and raised 5 miles from the big black, not in canton, but about 25 miles south of canton. It has great deer and late season duck hunting. Turkey is good, but like wilkat7 said the flooding can be an issue. Does the land border the big black, if so do you need some one to manage it for you? I would be more than happy to help you out.

its about a mile or so away from the river, actually.

Well it will be a hit or miss. Like any piece of property, you have to take a look at it and see if YOU feel like it is a good buy. If it is in Madison County you will be paying a premium for it if its worth a flip. If you do and need a older coot to watch over it for you, give me a shout.

Been hunting it my whole life just west of Canton. Can't say I'd rather hunt anywhere else. Seen, killed, and witnessed the killing of many big deer over the years. As for turkeys, I wouldn't hunt anywhere else either. Shoot me a pm if you have any questions.

Cajuncannon, send a PM with any questions you want to ask - I might be able to provide some answers.

you can't go wrong with land in madison county along big black...sounds like some of the land near t-bar...huge deer and tons of turkey...great duck hunting if its wet.
