SPSOA Deer Management Hunts
To register for a SPSOA hunt you must have the following two requirements:
*目前的狩猎执照
*当前WMA许可证
WHAT IS A STATE PARK SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY AREA?
State Park Special Opportunity Areas (SPSOAs) are properties where the Alabama State 公园 is offering a new public hunting format, a limited quota (random draw permit, 箭术). The SPSOA hunts are a management tool used to reduce the deer population within the park boundaries. The reduction of the deer herd is important in maintaining balanced and healthy natural communities for all flora and fauna. This new SPSOA public hunting opportunity has been created as a partnership between the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries and the Alabama State 公园 divisions of the ADCNR.

WHAT IS AN URBAN DEER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM?
Hundreds of cities across the United States are faced with expanding deer populations. Because there can be a lack of natural elements to keep the populations balanced, herds can become unhealthy and also create safety concerns for commuting citizens. Local communities sometimes develop Urban Deer Management Programs as alternative ways to manage their deer populations.
