Sedgefields Plantation is known as the “Home of Champions,” which is fitting considering the number of winners who have visited the famed Alabama hunting grounds.

This does not exclude non-game animals, which are replete in the gorgeous hardwood forests, creek bottoms and planted or fallow fields of Sedgefields.
