Just wanting to see what are most people's interpretation of legal shooting hours for deer in AL? The regulations say "daylight hours only". Reading through some of the other threads it seems people have varying interpretations. Anyone have any thoughts?

Aren`t the actual "times" 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset? Depending on what kind of woods your in has a lot to do with how good you can see. If I can clearly identify it through the scope then I will shoot, if not I won`t.

30 minutes before and after sunset. It is defined in the handbook but less obviously so than it should be.

Sunrise/Sunset can be timed even though it moves a minute or two each day so then plug in the 30 minutes gives a definite time, didn't know Alabama has that one in the regs. In other words the time that legal shooting would be defined to the minute each day and you can't use a German made $2000 Hubble Telescope to go passed it. Where's Paw Paw Troy?

There is a defined time in the regs for doves and waterfowl but I haven't seen one for deer. If I can see less than 20 yards it's time to come down but I hunt woods not fields.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

ya'll just make up this stuff , don't ya'll?????
the sunrise/sunset tables are for waterfowl hunters, not deer hunters. There is no "set" time for start/stop. One part says "daylight, another says sunset.
If you go by 30min before sunrise/30min after sunset you will be safe. My own criteria is what you can see with yer eyes, not some 56mm German scope or binocs.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

So it actually officers discreation? pretty much, and I personally never knew of a ticket for shooting after hours unless it was WAAAAY after hours and with a light.

Thank you, if I take up waterfowl hunting I'll carry the table and a watch. I have gotta get me one of those mini Hubble's where I can deer hunt till after supper time.

I look everyday before i go if the sunset says 4:30 pm I set my phone alarm to viberate at 5:00 pm, when phone goes off I come down, unless there is deer around me. When deer are around me, I either call a friend to drive in and pick me up or Let my gun to the ground, drop the rope and weight.

Every state that touches Alabama plus LA, ARK, KY, and SC all state one half hour before sunrise / one half hour after sunset. Leave it to Alabama to be basakwards once again.

Seems pretty simple to me. Daylight hours only. That can vary a lot from place to place not only with regards to where you're hunting---fields/woods--- but also how much cloud cover there is. Like Troy said the 30mins before sunrise/after sunset is for migratory birds including DOVES, not deer.
