Decoys are now legal, but I wouldn't suggest it on public land in No. Alabama. The northern WMA's are crowded. About all I hunt are thenorth WMA's. If you know where to get way from people, you will be alright. I have taken birds in tha Black Warrior WMA, which tends to be less crowded. Just be ready to have your hiking boots on. Black Warrior is huge and the birds tend to be spread out.
