Alabama deer seasons, 2026-27

Alabama’s 2026-27 deer seasons run October 1, 2026 to February 10, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the deer zone your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the deer zone off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
