The Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) has designated February 9-10, 2013, as Special Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days. On those days, youth under age 16 may hunt when accompanied by a licensed adult hunter. Regular waterfowl season shooting hours, bag limits, legal arms and ammunitions apply to the special days.
To participate in the hunt, individuals must be accompanied by an
adult supervisor. The adult supervisor, who may not hunt, must remain
within arm’s length of the youth at all times. The adult supervisor may
accompany up to two youth participants during the hunt.
Youth is defined as an individual age 15 years and younger. Adult
is defined as an individual age 25 years and older, or as the parent of
the youth. The adult must have a state hunting license, state and
federal waterfowl stamps, and a free harvest information program stamp.
Only one firearm will be allowed per youth, and only the youth
hunters will be permitted to utilize the firearm for hunting. The adult
is expected to review the rules of firearm safety and hunter ethics with
each youth and ensure they are followed.
