Black Warrior WMA?

Does anyone know what the schedule is going to be this year? We hunted it opening day last season and wanted to go back for the opener this year if they are having a hunt. Thanks for any info on it.

You get one on opening day last year? Deer seem to be scarce out there.

FIFY. What they lack in numbers they definitely make up for in size.

No doubt we've seen some pics of monsters from out there...

November 22 is opening day on Zone B. Don't overlook the primitive hunt on Zone A the week before. It's the 17th-19th. Both hunts will have some of the best deer in the state brought in. Guarantee it.

Spoken by the man himself

Do they have any camping facilities at Bankhead?

Never hunted it, but always wanted to. Is the Sipsey Wilderness area huntable, or off limits? Which is zone A? I tried to find it on the map, but couldn't. About how many hunters do they average on the first hunt?

On opening weekend the is a orange hat behind every tree.
A Side is the side with the Sipsey
Wilderness area. B Side is on the opposite side of HWY 33.

A side is the West side of Hwy 33. The Wilderness area is on the A side. You can gun hunt the Wilderness area anytime the A side has a gun hunt.

The B side is on the east side of Hwy 33.

Is the gun hunt on zone B Friday and Saturday this week? According to the map/permit it says the 5th and 6th, but nothing about Sunday the 7th. I can't make it there on Friday or Saturday to get to the head quarters, are they open Sunday morning the 7th? I've never hunted bankhead or black warrior so this is all new to me. Thanks in advance

The hunt is exactly what's on the permit. There is not a hunt scheduled for Sunday. Almost all hunts on BW are Wed-Sat or Friday and Saturday on Zone B, except the opening day hunt. It's Saturday only.

READ the permits for dates and times. If Sunday isn't on the deer hunt dates then there is no gun hunting that day.

You can hunt the Bankhead on Sunday.

That's what I figured, just didn't know if the map/permit I downloaded was the wrong year. From the looks of it I can just bring the bow and hunt anywhere on Sunday.

Thanks
