You just stand on the color dirt the map shows your area is!
Seriously, it's a great question and I was wondering the same thing. Seems most folks won't be overly familiar with the area.I can't see them marking each individual area....

I will not get a CID. I like to be difficult. They take more power each year.

Gotta love all the complaining. The state makes prime hunting property in our state available to all hunters for no additional cost and by golly we are gonna find something to moan about. Heck you don't even have to buy your license to register, just have your ID number.

All the information is right there on the outdoor alabama web page.

"Successful applicants may be accompanied by one hunting guest and both must remain on their assigned hunt unit. Each hunting unit is clearly defined on the Special Opportunity Area (SOA) map and delineated with signage on the ground."

I signed up.
They may as well start a Preference Point process now, just like the Gator tags. I can hear the whining already!

If i get fracked for ten years on this to yea im gonna be pissed. Oh and the preference points are bulldoodoo as far as I've seen.

Same here I had i think 9 preference points and I've watched the same damn people get drawn every year

So now it's after 1 pm, did anyone receive an email yet?

I haven't. I don't expect to get an email today, don't think anybody should

Registration doesn't close until October 3rd, read the page posted in OP first post...

Was trying to sign my son (11) up for one of the youth hunts. Got his CID # and was about to register under his name and then saw this in the first sentence of registration rules.

"To register for this hunt you must be 16 years old or older and have a Conservation ID (CID)".

Does this mean I have to register under my name? There is a chance I may not be able to get off work and if that's the case I was planning for his granddad to take him. If it's registered in my name would that be possible?

Also, if my name is drawn for youth hunt, how would that affect other hunts I may want to apply for....or vice versa?

I would contact dcnr about that. If he has a CID I would assume he could register for these hunts under your name...

No... My bad, I meant did you get the email about the signup process being screwed up? I got one that said you might have to log in and redo your selections because they had some sort of glitch on their system? I know it was not till next month btw.

This. It's easy. Grow a pair and do it, or don't. Better chance for the rest of us.

Y'all ever hunt outside of Alabama? This is so simplistic compared to applying for out of state tags...it makes my head hurt how you could complain about this.
