Years ago, before the impact of human overpopulation had a significant effect on nature, there was a reasonable balance in nature and traditionally, hunting has always been about putting food on the table. In modern society, however, many hunters have become too focused on getting the biggest trophy or spur length and antler score, which in a sense, has turned hunting into a competition of some sort. Enter locavore hunters.For both the novice and veteran hunter, eating the delicious rewards of hard work is what locavore hunting is all about.

“Locavore hunters hunt with respect for the animal and the land. Men and women who hunt as a way to provide organic, ethical meat for their families, are known as locavore hunters (although a relatively new term) and here, at Westervelt Lodge, we offer locavore deer hunts that offer the hunter both educational and mentored hunts.

Locavore hunting is best described as the detection of an animal in its natural environment or habitat and the stalking of this animal until it can be ethically killed in the fastest possible way, to provide food for the table. The hunter by knowing exactly what the deer ate, therefore procures his own organically, locally sourced meat,” explained Westervelt Lodge manager – Steven Carroll.

Westervelt Lodge has established itself as one of the most prominent destinations for deer and bird hunting. The facility is especially popular among wild turkey hunters, black belt deer hunters, whitetail deer hunters and wing-shooters who come from far and wide to enjoy the wide-open space of the 12,000 acres of land that sprawls along the scenic Tombigbee River in west Alabama.

It remains one of the last large hunting estates from the old south, where a large number of wild animals roam freely. Westervelt Lodge’s reputation for quality hunting experiences has served as a benchmark since its first hunt in 1951, and with so many choices for quail, dove, turkey and deer hunting, hunters prefer to return to this outstanding hunting facility, year after year.

The Lodge offers elegant accommodation that is suitable for hunters, their families, and friends, and even for corporate events and they are frequently visited by hunters from native Alabama, and many other parts of the US, Canada and abroad. The facility is well-maintained and expertly managed by a team of skilled and experienced managers who understand the importance of ethical hunting and keeping a balance between the natural habitat and animal populations.

Westervelt's environmental diversity offers hunters a perfect opportunity to choose between different plains and free-roaming deer and wild birds and to hunt them in their original habitat, and if you want to learn more, be sure to visit their brim-packed website.
