I haven't hunted in the SW part of the State but directly South and SE of Montgomery needs the extended season. From Central AL going North I would say it is not needed.

The overall problem is that RIFLE Deer season is too long. IMO we should have a week of gun season the week of Thanksgiving Sat-Sat. then go back to bow only for a couple weeks.

People gonna cry in their Wheaties but maybe there should be a big push to encourage small game hunting. 90% of Alabama just rides a shooting house if deer season is open they don't even think about doing something else. That's an issue IMO long-term this is terrible for the sport of hunting overall. Not everyone goes deer hunting and loves it.


No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
