Gun season started at the same time as always, but they added 10 days to the end, til feb 10. In order to do that, they took away 10 days of gun hunting at the beginning of December. So bow season is open from now until feb 10.

I don't believe those 10 days are "gun season". That being said, I'd still wear orange while walking to the stand. http://www.outdooralabama.com/sites/defa...%2011-13-14.pdf

Hunters orange is always a wise decision regardless of the season. I've never come home from not being shot and thought to myself "damn I wish I wouldn't have worn that orange" On the Eighth day God created flounder.

I also always use a light even when I know I am (supposed to be) the only person on the entire property. Originally Posted by CNC Ya'll are just overthinking it now
