I think it's the beginning of the end of public land as we know it.

I think it's the beginning of the end of public land as we know it. A lot of the "public" land that was available over the past few years was privately owned and for 1 reason or another has been removed from the state. That's the beginning of the end. The real beginning of the end is license sales. There's a lot of federal money left on the table due to a decrease in sales, for whatever reason.

I think it's the beginning of the end of public land as we know it. I disagree. They are not taking away public land. They are adding small tracts with controlled access. I think it's good for public hunting in the state.

I think it's good for public hunting in the state. X2 sure we've lost some WMA acreage, St Clair is gone, Coosa is smaller. But in the last couple of years we've gained autauga WMA and now these SOAs. These SOAs are a good thing IMO

I am excited about the opportunity to be able to hunt these areas designated for special draws. I think in the future it will make for some fine hunting.

I've been hunting public land tracts a lot smaller than 6500 acres for a long time without it having to be closed to the public
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Is anyone familiar with the cedar creek tract in Dallas county?
Its better to be a warrior in the garden than a gardener in war.
Some people feel the rain others just get wet.

Did y'all notice there is no hunting January 8-24 on any of these properties? I think Chuck Sykes and his boys will have these dates. Everyone knows those dates are the best for Alabama.

This is the best thing I have seen Alabama do when it comes to public land. I don't know if any of you have hunted in any other state on public land and have seen the success of a draw system. I have and it works much better than a free for all style WMA. The game is managed better and the opportunity to harvest a quality animal is defiantly a lot better. Yep, I saw a prime piece of public land open up in New Jersey one year (1999?) and opening day bow season had folks in trees about every 50 ft because there wasn't any control.
