Deer season may end in January, but hunters can enjoy a different outdoor sport in February – and help conserve more of Alabama’s precious lands at the same time.On Feb. 15 and Feb. 22, Westervelt Ecological Services will offer a series of continental pheasant shoots at its Westervelt Lodge in Aliceville, with all proceeds benefiting the Freshwater Land Trust.
Registration for a half-day session is $425, and it covers participation in a 300-bird pheasant shoot, refreshments, lunch and door prizes – not to mention cleaned and packaged birds to take home. The morning shoot will be 8-11 a.m. The afternoon shoot will be 1-4 p.m. In between, hunters will be treated to Westervelt Lodge’s famous fried chicken. The lodge’s 10,000 acres are in Pickens County, about two hours from Birmingham.
