HOG Alabama private lease question

[Dragonfire21281]

Ok myself and a friend have been invited to Alabama to help with a huge hog problem on a friends lease. So the question is do you need a hunting lic to hunt feral hogs in Alabama if your a non resident? I will be on private property. I know residents of Alabama do not.

Short answer is yes, you need a non-resident hunting license unless you are under 16.

For Recreational Licenses, those exempt from licenses would be:
 Residents under 16 years of age
 Residents over 65 years of age
 Resident Landowners and immediate family:
o Landowner’s spouse
o Landowner’s children, if Alabama residents
o Landowner’s parents, if Alabama residents
o Landowner’s brothers and/or sisters, if Alabama residents
o If Landowner has a tenant residing on the property, he and his immediate
family residing on the property are exempt from the requirement of a hunting
license.
NOTE: If the member of the immediate family has moved out of state, regardless of whether or
not they possess an Alabama Driver’s License, they are considered Non-Residents.
 Residents who are home on military leave (must have ID and paperwork)

For Nonresidents, those exempt from licenses would be:
 Nonresident under 16 years of age

At least the "good" news is that you would only need to buy a small game license for around $95.

You can get a trip license pretty inexpensively I believe.

The three day small game permit is half the cost of the full year.
