They've got tags and regionally specific bag limits. If you are an archery only hunter you can hunt for 3 months. Gun only less than a month.

Could this be the future of AL hunting?


Whoever schooled you was probably trying to justify Alabama sky high hunting leases and using that as an excuse because there are plenty of states with short gun seasons and their lease prices are just as high if not higher. It just looks like the West Virginia hunters have been able to keep their prices down by not paying the high leases to begin with......I do not know if it is their economy or they just have their priorities set up different than the hunters in this state but the length of the gun season is not factor when you look at the other states with similar seasons.



Which States do you keep referring to?


Our 52nd and 53rd states I imagine...

I guess you have never heard of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky.......


I didn't realize West Virginia was a historical big buck State.


I didn't either. They are about the same as Alabama for big bucks scored by B&C, but that still doesn't explain why their lease prices are less than half of ours. Even if we had the exact same seasons here (hell we can only kill three bucks a season anyway) Alabama hunters would still bid the prices through the roof in search of that magical lease. Alabama hunters are not your typical hunters in my opinion we live eat and breathe hunting to the point we debate about it in the middle of the summer when it is 100 degrees outside lol.
