Spring turkey season opens March 20 in Alabama management areas
Outdoor columnist notes Alabama's spring gobbler season runs March 20 through April 25 with a daily limit of one gobbler. Hunters in the Black Warrior, Choccolocco, Thomas, Lauderdale and Skyline areas must obtain free season-long permits, write to local addresses for permits, and follow rules including no rifles and no shot sizes larger than number two. Expect below average turkey numbers due to last summer's heat.
