I am still puzzled by the fact that the people who most strongly object to a change in season structure for SOUTH Alabama, are from North Alabama. Color me Bumfuzzled.  Not me, I was hellbent against it when some in LA wanted to extend it for the WHOLE state. I'm glad ya'll got it, most of us in NA were getting tired of the whining.

Trust me, I live parallel to Birmingham and everybody around here wants the February extension too. My objection is not to stop people in Covington Co from hunting in February, it's to try to close the Pandora's box that has now been opened by altering the season dates. I just dang sure don't want that crap here, and the title of this thread was about moving the line "just a little further north". Sounds like the old game called "Just the Tip"....

The last few years my knees have gone to sheet, two replacement on one knee. Can't get around like I used to. Now only care about hunting here. If the south zone shifts north to encompass the refuge, I will lose those two weeks.

Baybuzzard, I feel that everyone should be ably to hut the rut. Im in NE Al. and the rut on my lease is end of Nov. thru Dec. 10th. The deer just vanish in Jan. It really is great for everyone. if you dont mind getting in the truck and taking a long ride and hunt both ruts

Color me Bumfuzzled. after seeing all those big bucks 2dogs has killed I have decided to find me some property in Jackson county and I'll also get to hunt the rut, and if all y'all south alabama boys will do the same the Yankee Bama boys will join our efforts.

I'm glad ya'll got it, most of us in NA were getting tired of the whining. I live and hunt in the SW zone, and even I was tired of the whining. Quite honestly, I haven't really seen anything very impressive as far as MATURE bucks being killed in February yet. One or two, but most that I've seen killed thus far have been piss-ants. People have a right to kill whatever they want...fine by me if it's "club legal" or whatever where you hunt. But, some of the same ones who pissed and moaned the most about wanting February hunting so they could have a better chance at "mature" bucks, are the ones killing the bucks that would have been mature in a year or two. Hard to have mature bucks to hunt next year if you kill them this year as "juveniles". I'm no expert by any means, but that much I know for sure.

We can also get those land hogging deer killing machines Florida boys to go north with us. We can lease up all the land and hunt all three phases of the rut. Cool!

LOL. Couple years ago during these February arguments I mentioned something of that nature, that we'll just start coming up there and hunting the rut. They said something about bring some shrimp when ya come.

Baybuzzard, where I live in sw la we have a NWR a few miles from my house. It would allow bowhuntin only oct 1 - oct 31. Our rut peaks the first 2 weeks in nov. We got enough of us together a d had meetings with area managers and hot an extension until the day before duck season opens, which is always 2nd Saturday of nov. Yall may want to try. All they can tell y'all is no.

I'm going to bring it up one more time. Why not, at least, have a "trophy" weekend and pay an extra $5.00 or so when you buy your license. This money could go to research or to law enforcement. If you work weekends, be able to pick 2 days prior to the 15th of Feb. during the week. Put a 4 point on a side or some other criteria on what can be killed. No does, no spikes or the like. There will be abuses, but we have that now, more than anyone can believe. This will give us a taste of what things would be like with a February 15 end of season. If it makes a difference, go for it. If not, stay with the 2 day trophy season for a few more years, and continue to monitor deer density and conception dates. BTW, I'm sure that many of us would be glad to help with the studies on our personal property or on leases that would allow folks to shoot some at night. Attacks can start now. Florida hunters are banned from comments.

All they can tell y'all is no. That is interesting. Is duck hunting allowed on that refuge? There is no duck hunting allowed on the refuge I hunt. In fact, no access allowed for any reason after Nov 30. It is there specifically for a duck refuge.

Yes they allow duck hunting 4 days a week. That may be a problem for y'all. I would still try. When we did it the big dogs in Atlanta had no problem allowing the change. And duck in our area are # 1 priority.

NWRs are Federally controlled. They are not likely to adjust their season to accommodate a handful of hunters. The refuge I hunt on is managed for the benefit of ducks. That is why it closes Nov 30. But I do appreciate you're concern & support So they could open bow season say Oct. 1 on the Federal owned lands? Now that would be sweet.
