Youth Season Dates

Alright guys, maybe I'm an idiot, but the Outdoor Alabama website is pretty confusing regarding the dates of the Youth Hunt. It says the youth season is "Saturday & Sunday the week prior to the opening of spring season." Hunting season opens on Monday, March 25. So is Youth Season the 23-24 or the 16-17? It would be nice if they just wrote the dates on the website........... I have contemplated interpreting the website to fit my desires but I figured I'd ask. Lol

23-24

I will ask a friend, Cherokee county warden. Tomorrow.

I think it would be March 16-17 since it says "the week prior".

Anyone able to get a confirmation on the dates?

Monday is the official start of a "week". A week runs Monday-Sunday.

If the season starts on a Monday the prior week ends on the previous day - Sunday.

Saturday and Sunday of the "prior week" would then be 23-24th

Monday being the first day of the week is a mostly European thing. Generally, most all of North America considers Sunday the first day of the week. Like OP said, how freaking hard would it have been for them to simply put actual youth dates?

Per email I got from DCNR:
