Hunting in Alabama is deeply rooted in its abundant wildlife and diverse habitats, which range from thick pine forests to fertile wetlands. Whitetail deer and Eastern wild turkey are among the most popular game species, with well-managed populations that offer high success rates for hunters. Many of Alabama’s Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), such as the Cahaba River WMA and the Black Warrior WMA, provide public land access for a variety of hunting experiences, including small game like squirrels and rabbits. The state also supports a robust waterfowl scene in the marshy regions near Mobile Bay, making it an excellent destination for duck hunters seeking a wintertime adventure.

For anglers, Alabama boasts numerous freshwater lakes and rivers known for their trophy-worthy largemouth bass. Lake Guntersville is particularly famous, regularly landing on lists of top bass fishing destinations. Coastal fishing along the Gulf of Mexico offers the chance to reel in redfish, speckled trout, and flounder, while offshore charters can target snapper and other deep-sea species. Beyond hunting and fishing, Alabama’s vast network of state parks and natural reserves provides opportunities for hiking, camping, and wildlife watching. Trails like the ones in Cheaha State Park lead adventurers through scenic overlooks, and spots like the Mobile-Tensaw Delta let paddlers explore the state’s unique biodiversity by kayak or canoe.
