To say that hunting is big in Alabama would be an understatement. With a deer population of 1.8 million and one of the largest populations of wild turkeys of any state, you can always find excellent places to hunt. You can even find a place to stay. In fact, our Wildlife Management Areas, national forests and pay-to-hunt lodges not only offer accommodations, but in many cases, also guides.

From bow hunting to gun season, Alabama is doing its part to take the sport of hunting into the new millennium. We even have a required hunter education course, and, in addition, provide people with the ability to buy or renew their hunting licenses online.

So whether you were taught to hunt by a family member or you are new to the sport, Alabama has opportunities for you. There are hunting trails ranging from the West Alabama Hunting and Fishing Trail to the Alabama Hunting and Fishing Trail for People with Physical Disabilities. Our state is open to all hunters.

Our woods, fields, and skies are teeming with wildlife like deer and turkey. Hunting and wildlife management plays a crucial role by preventing overpopulation, keeping the flocks and herds healthy and strong.
