MONTGOMERY, AL (AP) -
Deer season is opening across Alabama for
hunters who use guns, and the state has an online service to help them
keep track of their kills.
The Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources' online form allows hunters to
provide information about the deer they kill to help better manage the
deer population. It also lets them track their own harvests over time.
The agency says the
information helps wildlife biologists by providing information needed to
create management plans that promote a healthy herd.
Officials want hunters to
report their harvests as soon as possible. They can get started
submitting the data by visiting the hunting section of
outdooralabama.com.
Saturday is the first day of gun season across the state. It ends in January.
