Has it passed yet, or is it just a proposal?
It's passed, I saw it on the North American Hunter E-mail Newsletter I get every week or so.
Alabama Approves New Three-Buck Limit
MONTGOMERY, AL—
The Alabama Conservation Advisory Board voted recently to establish a new three-buck limit for the state’s deer hunting season.
The limit will be Alabama’s first in more than 40 years. Two of the three bucks can be of any size, but the third must have at least 4 antler points on one side of its rack to be legal. State wildlife officials say the intent is for the new limit to go into effect this season.
Dr. Warren Strickland of Huntsville proposed the change, which will include an as-yet-to-be specified validation system to record kills. Officials say that could be tags, punch cards, Internet check-in, telephone check-in or check stations. The state conservation department’s law enforcement section will determine the system in the coming weeks.
