If you enjoy gun or bow Hunting and the Great Outdoors – then it’s time to make reservations for a trip to Alabama’s Whetstone Plantation. Just a few miles from a major metropolitan area, you will feel as though you have traveled to a time when life was calm and graceful. 1997 was the first year the plantation was open for Guided Deer Hunts and our 4 to 5-year-old deer will weigh approximately 180-235 pounds and often score between 130-165 Boone and Crockett.
