When will the 2019-2020 season dates be published?

I was looking to see when the 2019/2020 various season dates were, but could not find them. Anyone know when they will be published? Thanks

Oct 1.......

Gracious. You serious? That’s pretty late. I was wondering when youth weekend would be his year

Well, for the last 20 years or more, gun season has come in on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and youth weekend has always been the weekend before that.

So, if I had to place a guess, I'd say youth weekend would be two weekends before Thanksgiving.

Now they can work on opening the season the 20th of Dec and closing it March 5th in south Bama.

that would work for me

....and that's after dove season starts.

Yeah you are right. Thanks!

Y’all do know they’re areas in south Bama where the rut is in the first 2 weeks of December?

The second, and final regularly scheduled, CAB meeting of the year will be May 4 in Gulf Shores. Typically a draft of the upcoming season dates will be presented then, and finalized afterward by the DCNR attorneys if any changes are necessary. That could take several weeks but sometimes haven't been officially posted until late summer. Usually, though, the draft dates are or have been reliable.

Board info from DCNR:


May 4, 2019 9:00 am

The next meeting of the Conservation Advisory Board is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, in Gulf Shores, Ala. The meeting will take place in the Gulfview Ballroom II at The Lodge at Gulf State Park, a Hilton Hotel, 21196 E. Beach Blvd., Gulf Shores, Ala., 36542.

Those wishing to address the board should register between 8 a.m.-8:30 a.m. The meeting will begin promptly at 9 a.m.

Good info - thank you

The book with all the dates is usually available at the deer expo in Birmingham in July
