One will find here an excellent network of interior roads, food plots and shooting lanes throughout this bottomland hardwood habitat. Dated aerials indicate that all but about a 25 acre hardwood plot along Bell’s Slough was clearcut about 30 years ago. Some 24 acres was replanted to pines soon thereafter and the balance has naturally regenerated into mixed hardwoods. Mature cypress and Tupelo Gum are found in and along Bell’s Slough and other minor sloughs.
The outdoorsman will find a broad range of activities to enjoy on this place. The bottomland hardwoods and long, broad shooting lanes provide great habitat for the numerous deer, turkey, dove, rabbit, racoon, wild hog, squirrel and other critters that you are sure to encounter out here. And locals say that Bell’s Slough has a rich history for bass, crappie, catfish, bream and maybe even a prehistoric fish or two after have been naturally stocked over the years by annual overflow from the Tombigbee River as well as occasional discharge from the Waterway. Further, Bell’s Slough also provides ideal habitat and hunting opportunities for the waterfowl enthusiast as well as a peaceful place to enjoy kayaking.
