The penalty for violating this provision of Alabama law is a fine of not less than $2,000 and a sentence to county jail of not more than six months. Additionally, a person so convicted would lose their hunting rights. To hunt for hogs and/or coyotes at night legally you must have a valid Alabama hunting license, the new special permit, written permission from the landowner, and do this within the season set by law for nighttime coyote and hog hunting.
