ya'll quit...

More like CNC please quit thinking and typing

Before you do away with crossbows you better make sure you ain’t broke down later in life and want to bowhunt on your land you sacrificed to pay for. I think it’s like voting if you don’t own land you can’t LOL. Now fuss about that

For the record, I'm not wanting more regulation. I'm wanting less......much less. I want to get rid of Game Check......I want to get rid of the three buck limit......I want to get rid of the paper thingy in my back pocket that says I'm suppose to record my deer before I touch it......I'm wanting to get rid of the baiting fee.......AND in order to be able to do that then I am willing to go to a more bow hunting oriented system with a two to three week gun season so that's its possible......I think its worth the trade to be able to just go hunt and not have to deal with all the extra BS...

Most states have always had a health exemption for crossbows which is great. But letting everybody use today's modern crossbows during archery season is a bit much. 60-90 yard shots doesn't seem like bow hunting

Meh.

I agree with that but I don’t have one that shoots that hard. We are loosing more hunters all the time because of regulations and people not having a place to hunt. I don’t buy into a deer has to be old if I want to kill it. I don’t blame a person if he only wants to kill trophy bucks but I don’t look down on anybody else either if he hunts for meat.

I would be good with a month long gun, but dependent upon the zones. Here in limestone they rut around thanksgiving, but don’t rut til almost feb in Franklin. I think gun needs to center around those. I’d also be good with making the first half of bow season “buck only”. I sat and watched fawns nursing til just about the open of rifle in Franklin. A velvet season would be cool too.

I don’t see a problem with the current dates are fine. Go to a tag system and show a little restraint on the trigger and all will be fine. Self control will help Alabama a whole lot.

It won’t be long and everyone with be hunting with a stick a string or throw sticks at the bastards. Went to four different places trying to find some turkey ammunition and there wasn’t hardly nothing at any store other than bbS for a freaking BB gun.

Pretty sure the consensus isn't to shorten the season. I never hear it except the same few people on here or Facebook. Only in hunting, do I routinely see conservatives ask for more regulations. It's not the state's job to insure people have trophy bucks to hunt. If there is a shortage of deer, the doe killing could be adjusted in certain areas, otherwise let landowners, leaseholders, etc. regulate their own. I wish the season was longer and I'd have even more freedom to cherry pick the days I hunted.

Just a thought that I’ll add about gun seasons: in many areas of the state, feral hogs are a huge problem and also make for quality game. It’s hard enough to put a hammer on them as opportunities arise with a rifle but bow-only makes it nearly impossible. Where I hunt I am as likely to see hogs as I am deer. I don’t shoot most of the deer I see although I think my neighbors do. I do, however, shoot every hog I can get crosshairs on from 50-300yards or more. In fact it’s how I fill my freezer most seasons.
The issue is not the length of seasons or weapons used. It is almost entirely a matter of trigger restraint on the part of individual hunters. I’ll shoot one or two does some years, other seasons none, wether I’m seeing does or not. I enjoy the flexibility of a long doe season to take only the older does when I get a crack at them. Other hunters seem to take that one doe a day rule as a personal challenge.

You would think if that was true lease prices would quit going up.

Hey Kyles

Hunt the way you want to man - it’s your season - you don’t have to answer to anybody here. Sometimes this site can judge pretty hard and we all opinionated - hunt the way you want to. Screw what a hunting site thinks - some folks here get mad at the kind of Weapon you tote 🤣🤣🤣. Who gives a rats $&*#

Don't forget that there are a fair number of us who balance hunting with work, family and church, and shortening the season by say, 2 weeks, means that we lose maybe 2 half days (if we are lucky), not 14. A lot of us aren't burned out by late January, but just happy go maybe get one more weekend. If you are burned out by late January, maybe don't go as much, rather than push for a law taking it away from the rest of us? Just a thought.

I'd love to see us open Oct 1 for this reason as well as the spike in buck activity as they shed velvet.......Season before last we had a little drought toward the end of summer that I believe caused deer to shed a little late. I found 2 or 3 velvet bucks for folks at the first of the season that year and everyone involved seemed to think it was the coolest thing.....myself included.

I don’t care what y’all want to do about these pine goats just don’t let CNC anywhere near the turkey regs.
