My opinion (like it matters). I would like to see a season as follows. October 1 till November 15... bow. November 15th till December 15th... add youth rifle(with Thanksgiving holiday weekend allow adult rifle)... December 15th till Jan. 31...adult rifle. Jan. 31 till 2nd Sat. in Feb. bow/muzzle loader/shotgun/youth rifle.

As far as legal baiting in Alabama(really). I think it will over time make the deer harder to kill(make them more nocturnal) unless you have some sort of timing regulation on the feeding system. Which would be next to impossible to enforce.

Just my 2 cents...
