THE complaining is a lot from the fact that all of these rules are new TO US IN ALABAMA. We have had very liberal rules for the last 100 years under a very different Dept and certainly better Directors like Charles Kelly. A LOT hunters don't want to be like other states, all hunters aren't looking to kill a B&C buck. They just want to go deer hunting and take their kids hunting without jumping thru 400 hoops or risking criminal prosecution.
I figure its probably getting to be about 50/50 or we wouldn't keep having this issue every year. The bottom line is both sides need to come to some sort of an agreement or we'll end up losing everything. Hunters make up around 10 percent of the population. A vast majority of those remaining would have no problem if any of us ever got the chance to hunt ever again. Our energy would be better spent ensuring our rights are preserved rather than fighting amongst each other. That even comes to in-staters and out-of-staters. I'll eat my crow on my comment above if it means guarantying future generations the right to hunt.
