All required hunting and fishing licenses must be in possession when hunting or fishing.


HUNTING:
In 1991 the Alabama Legislature passed a law that mandates all first time hunting license buyers, born on or after August 1, 1977, to complete a hunter education course prior to purchasing their first hunting license.

Anyone 16 years of age or older and less than 65 years of age must have a hunting license.

FISHING:

All residents, 16 years of age or older and less than 65 years of age who fish with a rod
and reel or artificial bait, are required to have a fishing license. This license is also required to fish with hook and line outside county of legal residence.

Note: Alabama residents, 65 years or older, are exempt from buying fishing and/or hunting licenses. Proof of age and residency will be required if checked.
