from:The Abundant Alabama Public Hunting Land
Alabama is a great state for hunting. Public hunting lands abound, as does the game for hunting. In particular, white tail deer are plentiful in Alabama and have a long hunting season. For many years, the white tail deer population was out of control, and hunting within the limits of the law helps to keep the population under control. In addition, dove, duck, quail, turkey, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, opossum, fox and even alligator can be hunted in Alabama.
The Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources maintain and manage 626,500 acres of Alabama public hunting land. These areas are financed with funds derived from hunting licenses and federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition. Some Alabama public hunting land is restricted to bow hunting, so it is important to understand the regulations and restrictions of any Alabama public hunting land you use. A hunting license, management area permit, and management area license are required when hunting on any public hunting lands in Alabama.
Alabama public hunting lands are located throughout the state, with different areas being designated for hunting different species. In addition, each species has its own hunting season, and Alabama offers some of the longest hunting seasons of any state in the country.
In order to maintain appropriate population levels of each species, there are a wide range of restrictions imposed when hunting on Alabama public hunting lands. In addition to the bow hunting restrictions mentioned above, there are bag limits on bucks when deer hunting and some hunts, such as alligator hunts, are permitted only as controlled hunts. In order to participate in alligator hunting in Alabama, you must apply for a permit. Only a certain number of permits of granted, and they are granted through a lottery system.
To attract young and special hunters, there are some special advantages granted for female hunters and for those under the age of 17. If you’re hunting with a female or a youngster, be certain to understand the special privileges afforded these hunters by the state each season. However, before you take a young or inexperienced hunter on a hunting trip, be certain that they’ve completed a hunter’s safety course in order to help ensure everyone’s safety.
Alabama public hunting lands are some of the most plentiful and best managed in the United States. There’s no doubt that you’ll enjoy your time spent hunting these lands and that your trip will be successful. Just be certain that you thoroughly understand the regulations of any area you wish to hunt and follow each restriction carefully.
