I found out yesterday that the upcoming 2005 turkey season, it will be legal to use decoys in Alabama. I imagine they will be a good asset in the arsenal for the next few years if set up properly. Especially since most of our birds have never seen deks before. I'm sure some have even though it's been illegal.[:'(]

They have also approved the use of a crossbow during regular archery season for both deer and turkey. This has been limited to only disabled hunters up til now. I still prefer my bow, but others may want to change.

They have also approved the use of a scope on muzzle loaders.

This all may be too much for us good 'ole boys/girls to handle in one year. They may have seen it that way too, because I don't think they legalized baiting for deer.
