Alabama hunting permission facts

Verified for modeled scope

For covered daytime hunting or trapping on another person's land, Alabama Code §9-11-241 requires written permission or accompaniment by the landowner or person controlling the land. The state courtesy card is an optional way to document the written branch of that rule, not the only prescribed format.
