Alabamas legal definition of hunting is very broad. It covers just about everything except sitting still watching or taking pictures. Any assistance to a hunter can be considered hunting under the law. To answer your question, no, she doesn't need a license to sit with you anywhere including a national forest to wma anymore than she would need a license to walk around in the wma with a camera. That said, a license would be cheap insurance from any problems that could come up. An a hole could make a case for a ticket if he thinks she is helping you hunt in some way. It may not stand in court but by that time it has cost you more than a license anyway.
Good point. I think I'll just break down and buy the extra licenses. Thanks for all the answers.
