No more than 5 rounds for deer, if I'm not mistaken.

Found it in the Q and A section

What is the maximum magazine capacity for hunting resident game on private lands? On WMAs?
On private lands there is no restriction on magazine capacity. On Wildlife Management Areas it is 10 rounds. (If it’s in the chamber, it isn’t the magazine.)

Thanks Turkey!

Mini 30's are completely illegal to hunt with on private or public land. All other semi autos are legal on any land except on public land you are limited to a 10 round magazine. It would probably be best if you just sold the mini 30......

It was ten dont know if thats changed.

I wanted to buy his rifle but he has decided to keep it......It's a joke......

I knew the answer.........but let's split hairs a minute. Say you want to do some hog hunting on a WMA and want high capacity. It states the magazine can be no greater than 10 for hunting on the WMA. So, I guess you would be ok with a belt fed gun and link of say 500 rounds?

I never have more than 3 rounds in my gun while deer hunting. Don't even own a rifle that will hold more than 5. Maybe I was thinking about Florida. Hunt there also.

Hell, the last several years I've been on the single shot, (encore) bandwagon.

Safety I would imagine. Right or wrong I wouldn't want to be in the woods with a bunch of strangers with 30 round magazines.

I don't think it is legal to hunt with a rifle during dog drives. If it is legal it is definitely dangerous as hell.

Did anybody ever plainly state the answer in all this splitting hairs?

I believe they did.

I deleted my part of the hair splitting, so your answer should be easier to find now.

I did

Thx again Turkey. We need to have a North AL meet & greet one of these days.

I've had 3 or 4:) it's called the annual YEKRUT bash, my house, to much food, lots of lies. Doing it the first weekend in oct this year so it will be cooler.

I gave the most sound answer. The rest is unimportant.

Might be dangerous where your hunting RM, where we're at you'd be better off with a flip & marbles than a shotgun with buckshot.

Has this changed?
