Alabama allows night hunting of coyotes, feral hogs to control their populations
Fox News
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey recently signed a new law that will allow officials to create an official season for hunting the two types of animals at night.
Previously, hunting coyotes and feral hogs at night required a special permit, which was only issued to landowners or someone they specifically delegate to hunt the creatures. Now, hunters will be able to buy a $15 license instead of going through the process of getting a permit. The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources estimates that feral swine cause $50 million in private property damage in the state every year. The department also said feral swine damage agriculture and wildlife habitats throughout the state and across the South.More Related News
