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.

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.

That's why I try to shoot for the small game season on WMA's . It's $300. For a non resident big game. It's not to overpriced but I hate to pay it to hunt for hogs. I bought my 22 Magnum just for that. But I geuss if I want to hunt them bad enough I will fork out the extra $200. Or wait for a special hog hunt.

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 thumbup 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.

There are hogs in every county of North Alabama and season is open all year and you can use a rifle unless on WMA then it has to be a weapon for something that is in 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

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.

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.

And yes I did see somewhat of a slight decline this past year on the west side. Maybe all the high water last year is all I can think of.

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.
