Stay at home order and traveling

What is this going to do to y’all’s plans to hunt turkeys out of state?

Will we be able to travel and hunt within the state? I’m leaving tonight to hunt and won’t come back until Sunday, which is after the ban. Is that illegal?

No clue.

I have reached to to the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division to see what the new mandate means for hunters. I'll update when I get a response.

Thanks!

I’ve got work shirts. I’ll be “working” when driving to hunt.

Hunt. It is an outdoor activity and allowed

Confirmed. You can find details here: https://www.al.com/news/2020/04/gov-kay-ivey-to-give-update-on-coronavirus-response.html

Delayed for a year. Next year I suspect people will be doubling down on trips, if any of us have any money left.

Here is the quote from the actual order:

To engage in outdoor activity.
A person may leave his or her place of residence to participate in outdoor activity that involves fewer than 10 people so long as the person maintains a consistent six-foot distance from other persons

We leave for Kansas and Missouri in 10 days, i just read the guidelines and it says you can leave your house to do outdoor activities, and to visit family members. We have family in Kansas so I guess we’re good to go.

You will have to debone them no brain matter before crossing state lines

I’m headed to Oklahoma on Sunday, I will let y’all know if we see anything unexpected. Oklahoma sent out a email today that asked non residents from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Louisiana, California, Washington to self corn-teen for 14 days if traveling into Oklahoma.

I’m in the same boat...but seriously, I’m safer and taking social distancing to another level when in the woods. So I could be charged with a class C misdemeanor if I’m caught traveling during this? I leave the house at 4:00 AM to be on go at gobbling time. I don’t want to be that guy because I know the law has a lot going on but are they going to pull me over at 430 and ticket me bc I want to get away from folks in the woods?

I had a trip planned to go to South Dakota in a couple of weeks. It has been cancelled, but we’ve re-booked for next Spring

As I understand it if your traveling for outdoor activities your fine. A lot of other states have already had this in place and many people still hunting. My trips for Nebraska and Wyoming are still a go right now as long as no road closures take place or this thing doesnt continue to worsen. Both locations have places to stay on them and I'll be by myself. Only stopping for gas and got plenty of hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes to wipe down with after pumping. Plus I'll take my own food and when I get hungry make a sandwich. When I get to locations I'll cook me something up on the grill from my cooler. Oh I'll have the beer ready loaded so no stopping for that either.

KY stopped OOS license sales to yesterday. They said they would honor those already sold. I'll find out in a couple of weeks

Farm I hunt in TN shut down Wed. One of workers out with flu like symptoms. Glad I didn't purchase a license yet.

I’m supposed to go in a Kentucky turkey hunt in two weeks!

You get your tags yet Mike? I’m up here now with Layne. Killed one this morning. Gonna give it another go tomorrow.

Totally legal in Alabama. Relax and enjoy.

Nothing has changed in Bama same exact order Shelby and Jefferson co have been under for 3 weeks. This just extended the end date. Hunt and fish as you like and go where you need to go.

Skyline is officially closed as of tomorrow. Fine no less than $1000 per area manager.

No

Nice try.

I’m scheduled to fly to Kansas April 24-27. Delta keeps changing my flights. We were scheduled to arrive in Wichita at 10:30 AM now it’s 12:30 PM. Not too bad, coming back they moved my flight UP fours hours. We normally hunt the Monday morning we leave and then head it the airport. We may extend another day.

The bigger issue in Kansas is they limited us to one tag in Unit 3 which is where my family farm is. I’ve found a small piece of ground to hunt in Unit 2 but it’s over an hour anyway. If Delta cancels our flight, don’t know if I want to drive 14 hours one way.

Don't drive through Illinois. Had a buddy get pulled over for out of state tags.

Pulled over and what did they say? I’m going to Illinois next week, guess I need to take off my truck tag.

I made it to Oklahoma just fine today, plan on camping and hunting. Staying out of town and stores.

Got two tags to fill there, give us some details!
