Nope. Not enough room for them to roam without having major conflicts with humans. The largest blocks of unbroken landscape in AL pales in comparison to what they have in other states. NC has elk, tons of mountainous sparsely populated area, and even then the elk are nuisance animals to the farmers and landowners out there. They have had elk for a while and yet there’s still no season on them and the only ones that have been shot are by farmers with depredation permits. That’s exactly how I’d foresee things going in AL if they tried to reintroduce them. Even if you could put a huntable herd somewhere in the state, I don’t see how there would be more than a handful of tags a year and slim odds to ever draw one in your lifetime. The lottery entry would probably be opened to non-residents because why would the DCNR do anything to limit revenue? And you better believe the DCNR has already evaluated the feasibility of doing this due to the revenue elk lottery/tags would generate. It’s just not workable with what the state has in terms of land, infrastructure and property ownership.
