I have a comment and it’s about the same thing wasting disease in deer it’s in Alabama & Georgia Tennessee I have Battle cancer for A year from gas fumes I hate to see people get cancer from deer meat wasting disease stays in deer for ,,3 years before it shows if you eat deer meat that has not been tested it’s liable to get cancer. 2600degree will not kill the disease and after three years it can kill with in day’s state’s need to start checking every deer but they want because there are so much money involved

The over population of deer can be fixed without shooting and killing deer. Seems so inhumane to hunt and kill animals (and enjoy doing it) . Maybe humans can use a lesson about being humane to all beings on the planet we share and become better humans for the sake of man KIND.

A season change to reflect 5 days off on the early season and 5 days more on the end of the season I think will benefit a wider population of deer hunters. The widely variable rut patterns across the state according to posted AL Biological research shows many subgroups of deer rutting later than commonly believed.
As to the liberalization of dog hunting, I used to hunt in a club running dogs and loved the excitement and the animals. What soured me on the sport was the huge numbers of inconsiderate hunters running dogs on other clubs land, trespassing, and shooting anything that moved. We’ve had hunters from Florida in Butler Co. steal deer shot by our hunters, road hunt, night hunt and grow marijuana on club land off season.
If anything needs to be changed, my vote goes for the 5 days of the front to 5 days on the end added. I’ve been a licenced AL hunter since 1970.

Delete 5 days on the end so small game hunters hunt when it’s not so hot . To hot in September to rabbit and squirrel hunt start 5 days later on small game.

Extend the season for Ten more Days. Don’t take away any days because doing that generates less revenue for the State of Alabama. If I have to go up 43, I have to stop for a Coffee,Breakfast, and Gas etc… If anything sell a permit to hunt an extra 15 days after the normal season. Buck Only. Try something new, just don’t take anything else away.
