Will be watching this post closely. I plan on going somewhere after deer season.

Bayed up, I believe you just answered if I want to look at lower Delta. I'm hoping to get to a wma in Alabama in December. Was planning on northern Alabama but would rather head further south. Hopefully some of you guys that know the area can send me in the right direction. I figured I will have to use small game guns. You have a boat? It ain't hard to find them if you do.

You will be fine with that boat. Shoot them right out the boat in the lower delta. Just ride till you see some on the bank. Trolling motor is key.
You dont want to go walking around... You are going to be a muddy mess if you do. Much easier to safari hunt em out the boat...

An aldeer delta hog hunt would be a good time!
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

Jimmymorgan, you can use your deer rifle on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of rifle season in the lower delta. PM me if I can help you further.

I have a 16' flat bottom boat. Is the Mobile Delta like a WMA? I would appreciate any pointers so I can order a map and plan a trip.

Jmudler, yes it is a 50000 acre management area. You can get a map ( that you must have signed on you while hunting) from outdooralabama.com. You will need your boat to access it. You are welcome to pm me.
JimmyMorgan, I just reread the rules, and I can certainly see how baybuzzard could interpret them that way, but I personally would not be on the management area during deer season with a center fire rifle without a hunting license. You could call the officer at five rivers delta center to verify.

I have a 16' flat bottom boat. Is the Mobile Delta like a WMA? I would appreciate any pointers so I can order a map and plan a trip. Line up a trip with someone like TurkeyJoe who knows the delta. It's unlike anything else if you've never been, but I miss hunting it.

Is the mobile Delta water swamp or is the water swift leading into it? I used my canoe at seven Mile island and worked my but off paddling that stupid thing back up the Tennessee river. If it's swampy I can leave my outboard motor at home. Any feedback from you guys would be appreciated. Both. It has major rivers and sloughs with little to no water flow.

Definitely areas in the lower delta you can and can not use an outboard  I am new to the area and trying to get a feel for it myself but I can definitely tell you that much! Upper delta is much more navigable and I would think still has a buncha hogs compared to lower.

In the southern portion of the delta (below I-65) you can hunt hogs anytime a season for any game is open, 7 days a week, and hunt them with any weapon you want to use. You can only deer hunt Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. And somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you are required to have a big game license. Where did you find this? I'm not saying that I dont believe you, I just know these rules can be a bit interpretive. I've looked everywhere for public land tracts that would allow hog hunting with a rifle when it wasn't deer season.

Hey Joe are you hunting the Spanish fort side? I hunt the other side a lot. And the crazy hill at the basin some. How are the hogs your Way? They are nothing like it was a couple years ago over here. Actually I have only killed a one over here This year. Last year I was seeing them all over. I guess everyone shooting and leaving them for so long has worked out for the DNR. But I miss them I like to eat them. Lol Sorry I missed your post mudbug. I do hunt the east side of the swamp occasionally, and I would say hog numbers are fairly high. See a lot of sign, and sightings are not uncommon. Good luck!

They are all over the delta. I am almost positive they are considered small game while hunting them. You can use a center fire rifle as long as another season is in other than the seasons at night for coons and opossums or whatever you can hunt at night with dogs. For instance. If rabbit season is in you can shoot a rifle for pigs. . If special teal season is in you can shoot a rifle for pigs. If there is not another season in, you cannot hunt pigs. I think this year there is a special hunt for pigs. I think. I have no idea on rules for there. There are tons of places to kill pigs that you can walk around on the delta below 65. The closer you get to the causeway the less and less land you run into though. I’d like to know the amount me and my buddies have killed over the last 10 years. I know between three of us we had 16 killed by thanksgiving. I’d you really want to kill one wait till right before deer season next year when an early season for something else comes in and come shoot em. If you hunt a weekend hard you will or should kill a pig if you can hunt any bit whatsoever. Bring plenty of bug spray and thermacells. So when turkey season comes in week after next, we are good to hunt pigs with a rifle down there?

yes, if there is a season listed on the management maps for turkeys.
tried copying the map screen shot on my work computer but it will not let me. i'll do it later.
it states though
Swine and Fox: Open during any other scheduled WMA season using weapons and ammunition permitted for hunting any other species. No dogs allowed. ( there is a special season for dogs ) Daylight hours only.

Man I have seriously misunderstood the line about any other WMA season with any other weapon. I took that to mean during turkey season only the same weapons as ok for shooting turkey and for squirrel season only blah blah blah. Sometimes I’m just another IDOT.

So to recap:
If a game season is open - say turkey season - on a WMA, then you can use a centerfire rifle for hogs during that season on the WMA?
I've never understood it to be that way. If it is, then good, but that's a new one on me.

If you go hog hunting in the delta during turkey season, please remember that I've got black hair, kinda fat, and stink sometimes, but I AINT NO HOG. Y'all watch where you shootin. My father in law was killed turkey hunting years ago.

I've never understood it to be that way. If it is, then good, but that's a new one on me. Yes for the lower delta. Not any others I know of. ONLY the lower delta from the ones I’ve hunted. Call five rivers to verify. That’s who confirmed it for me this year.

I took that to mean during turkey season only the same weapons as ok for shooting turkey and for squirrel season only blah blah blah. Sometimes I’m just another IDOT. That's what I thought, because that's how it is on every other piece of public land. Legal weapons are only weapons that you would already be using for other species. I've looked everywhere for public land to hog hunt with a rifle, and it looks like I finally found somewhere. As a matter of fact, the boys and I are planning a trip down there next weekend.
