Looking to discuss with someone that has or is currently hunting that property.

I’ve wondered the same thing. Used to hunt up at Pelham range in Anniston and killed a lot of deer. Wondered why hunting the arsenal wasn’t a bigger thing up here.


Well first the general public can’t get access, you have to be active/retired or a reason to be on post. Then if you have access you have to take a class with outdoor rec and register your firearm with the garrison. You’re supposed to claim the weapon every time you go on post but rarely do people do it. Then once you’ve done all that you have to sign out your hunting area.

That’s kind of how it was in Anniston. You take a couple of classes. It’s all archery, except for a couple of days of muzzleloader/shotgun. You cannot have any firearm on base aside from those days and carries federal fines if you’re caught with even one bullet. Then you sign up for an area and they have antler restrictions. Was pretty good hunting there. I haven’t been in yrs though so some of that may have changed.
