The same reason that the local biologist don't chime in any more.....because everyone wants to argue with them because they think they know more than the professionals do.


This one is simple. It's yes, or no.


Not really simple. Could I bring my scoped Ruger 44 mag? I'm pretty sure I would get a ticket for that.

Are you pretty sure? Or do you know?

Presumption often is incorrect.

Calling the DCNR to ask outright and checking the laws are the best ways to reconcile questions.

I just called the Tuscaloosa DNR office about this. They said that yes you can continue to shoot hogs with rifles. But you can no longer hunt them at night or over bait.

It is illegal to hunt hogs with a rifle during bow season.

Prohibited methods of hunting.

22. Utilize firearms for hunting deer during the preliminary archery only season, except handguns may be possessed for personal protection.

But you can't be in the stand with a bow and rifle. That's the reason they changed the law so we can carry a pistol while bow hunting.

I could be wrong but is this directed more as a question that IF someone were to really be hog hunting with a rifle would they get a ticket. My guess would be yes you would because there would be no way to prove you were hog hunting and not deer hunting. Your safest bet would be stick with the bow and pistol.

Burden of proof would fall on the officer to prove you were hunting deer. This applies to someone carrying only a rifle in the woods and claiming to be hog hunting.

During the deer archery season the law states that unless it is either sex gun deer season you can not be in possession of both firearm and bow(except handguns for personal protection) while hunting DEER. If you are hog hunting with a rifle and do not possess any archery equipment, neither do you possess a deer or deer parts, then no officer could EVER make a case you were deer hunting.

If you're in a stand and deer hunting it'd be best to leave the rifle at home, as an officer could most likely make a case with supportive evidence. If you're stalk hunting on the ground for hogs and don't have a deer and haven't been witnessed trying to kill one then there's no case to be made.

Won't do no good, it's best to call your local GW grin


Only problem with that is the folks in montgomery will tell you one thing and the local game warden will tell you something entirely different. I've had it happen more than once.
If you want to be on the safe side, go with the local gw unless you're ready to go to court
