Why does it say I’ve only got two preference points when I register for the hunts? I’ve registered for every single deer, turkey, and duck hunt since it’s conception but only have two preference points?

Is it one point per year not selected, or one per hunt applied for and not selected?

I think it’s one point per specific hunt you apply for, not a blanket thing for all hunts.

Alabama does probably the worst job of any state I’ve seen at explaining their point system.

That can’t be right. There was a guy on here that posted a picture showing that he has 28 preference points

If I was that guy, I’d be getting looking into a new identity by now.

Me and the wife both have been selected for hunts and neither of us have received a confirmation email. In another thread I learned that it would likely come from a lady by the name of Kara. Hope I see it soon. Very excited to know what unit I will get to hunt.

That sounds great! The less people who apply....the better chance for the ones who do.


I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!

Hevi I'm in the same boat as you. I've registered every year and I only have 2 points.

Just learned today that if you accept an alternate spot, it deletes all your preference points, even if you don’t end up getting drawn. What a crock of chit.

Here are their supposed rules for how preference points points are calculated. Something is still up though. Too many people reporting not enough or too many points.

As we all figured, something is jacked up with their system.

I talked to a guy last year on the crow creek duck hunt that said he had been drawn for that hunt 3 years in a row. That’s some bull crap when there are thousands applying that will never been drawn.

There was another reply on their FB the other day where they (AL WFF) indicated that there have only been an average of 2700 applicants for the SOA hunts. I don't know if that was deer/turkey/duck/small game combined or just deer. That seems a surprisingly low number to me even if it's for only the deer hunts.

I call bull on that one. I agree with you, that number is way too low.
