technically you don't need a written permit at all if you are hunting as a guest of the landowner. Before any of ya'll howl, read the damn law all the way thru.....
This one?
Immediate family as defined by law:
Landowner’s spouse
Landowner’s children, if Alabama residents
Landowner’s parents, if Alabama residents
Landowner’s brothers and/or sisters, if Alabama residents
If Landowner has a tenant residing on the property, he and his immediate family residing on the property are exempt from the requirement of a hunting license.
If the member of the immediate family has moved out of state, regardless of whether or not they possess an Alabama Driver’s License, they are considered Non-Residents.
