Planning a hunt in Alabama

Start with Outdoor Alabama’s wildlife management area directory and choose the individual WMA before planning a route. Keep the property map with your notes; a statewide ownership overlay does not show every area-specific hunt condition.

For an Alabama WMA trip, compare the property’s current hunt information with the general regulations and licensing pages. Record the property name, intended entry and any questions for the area office. Recheck that information when the hunt date or target species changes.

Check the property and the route

Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.

Use with Free Hunting Map

Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.

View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
