You can use a green light legally with a depredation permit in the off season.

What he said, how do they see the red or green dot? If you are trying to use a system that projects a light, than that is not legal in Alabama.

Prohibited Methods of Hunting - # 22 in the rules and regs; Hunt using laser sights, attachments and light sources to project a beam forward of a gun or bow, except for legally blind hunters. (22-2-.11)


I prefer a red dot over green for most uses. I find I can lose a green reticle in foliage off target. I do not like a green reticle with a green light either except with my night vision optic.
