Shady Grove Outfitters

Shady Grove Outfitters manages 38,000 acres in Alabama’s Black Belt, running guided hunts for whitetail deer, wild hogs, turkey, and dove. Lodging splits across three named properties, the Samson Hog Hunting Lodge, the Shady Grove Deer Hunting Lodge, and Oak Hill Lodge, with one cabin large enough to sleep 24 and linens provided, making it workable for both individual hunters and larger corporate groups. Packages include lodging, country cooking, and meat processing, so hunters can leave with a freezer full of game rather than field-dressed animals. Management here is deliberate: only mature bucks are harvested off the property, and the crew maintains the land year-round rather than just during season. With this much acreage split across dedicated deer, hog, and bird programs, Shady Grove is built to run multiple hunt types at once without groups overlapping.
