Doug Max and Cliff Butler have a combined 80 years of turkey hunting experience. Doug and Cliff grew up learning under the patient teaching of Doug's father, the late Willard Max, who was an excellent turkey hunter in his own right.
From the 70's until the early 80's, Doug and Cliff chased gobblers in the Mississippi river bottoms outside Memphis, TN. In 1983, Doug moved to Mobile, Ala. and had to learn to chase the smart pine woods toms of South Alabama. Putting Doug into the same woods with the likes of Ben Rodgers Lee and Eddie Salter was like throwing a rabbit into a briar patch.
Those Bama toms will make you hone your hunting skills and this spring will be Doug's 25th year in Alabama. Doug is an excellent caller and woodsman and has called in many, many gobblers for himself and others.
All through the 80's and 90's, Cliff continued to consistently harvest West Tennessee gobblers, most on public land. About 10 years ago, Cliff started hunting the hills of Middle Tennessee, and consistently limited out and called in gobblers for many others as well. Cliff is also a very accomplished caller and an excellent woodsman with a ton of patience.
Doug and Cliff are strong supporters of the National Wild Turkey Federation and of the St. Jude's Hunting For A Cure youth turkey hunt held each year in Savannah, TN.
Doug resides in Uriah, AL, and Cliff resides in Millington, TN.
All hunting is on private property withexcellent turkey populations. In Tennessee, J-Hook has roughly 3900 acres between Savannah and Waynesboro. It is also adjacent to the Eagle Creek WMA in Wayne County. The land is roughly 120 miles east of Memphis and roughly 100 southwest of Nashville. Their Alabama property is roughly 2700 acres located about 15 miles north of Monroeville in Monroe County. This property is roughly 120 miles northeast of Mobile.
