The Pinhoti Trail
A Southeast Region Appalachian Trail Connector
Hunting Season
Let's start with a link to the Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources, DCNR, website
Georgia DCNR, website
These are fairly technical websites that will (eventually : ) answer any questions you may
have about hunting dates and hunting areas, so please refer to the DCNR websites for
specific hunting information.
The DCNR creates all hunting rules and regulations, and sets the dates for when hunting is permitted.
Basically, there is a season for every animal, with few exceptions, and the dates are spread throughout
the year. The season hikers are most concerned with is deer season, which runs from the end of
November to the end of January.
The DCNR is also the issuing authority for a hunting licence. This licence allows hunting anywhere it is
permitted, which is basically everywhere, with few exceptions.
So, the purpose of this page is not to list when and where we can hike on the Pinhoti, or any other trail
in the US, without rubbing shoulders with hunters because there is no such time and place, as you will
(eventually : ) glean from the DCNR website.
The purpose of this page is to allow me the opportunity to say that hunting season is about interacting
with other people in our community. When we are out in the woods there are no hikers and there are no
hunters, just people like us who truly love to be in the woods and are filled by the same awe and wonder
of it all, for whatever reason. If we raise a hand, smile and say hey, they will too.
Hunters always wear something orange so people can see them. It would be nice if we returned the favor.
