We're in Florida now, but have been considering a move to Alabama.. Any recommendations on areas to look for property or not to look?
Might be an Alabama Handi owner in the future.

Not trying to steal the thread by asking about property. PM if you have info..

I am originally from Semmes AL, currently stationed in Baltimore,md and by the way this has got to be the best handi forum ever.

Alabama Handi owners, have y'all heard anything about Alabama following Mississippi's lead and allowing Handi's (and other older firearms) to be included in the "primative weapons" classification and legal for deer hunting? I've heard that Alabama is going to do this next fall.

MidTNJasonF · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2008, 12:50:37 AM »

I used to live in Hoover and I now own a Handi does that count

Now I live just North of y'all outside Nashville, TN.

Oh he Handi is a 22 Hornet but I may be getting another and/or some other barrel options.

I haven't heard this, no. As much as I love my .45-70, I hope we don't. How is a single shot cartridge gun a primitive weapon? Why restrict it to .45-70-- the .30-06 is over a hundred years old now. Mississippi can do whatever it wants, I don't agree with it.

I hope it doesn't happen either.Kinda would take the fun out of having a primitive weapon season.That's my opinion.

Tennessee.Traveler · « **Reply #19 on:** January 18, 2008, 01:47:17 AM »

Until last year, in Tennessee we were getting more season, or higher bag limit to counteract the shrinking hunter population. I haven't seen kill stats for 2007 yet but I know deer kill was way off due to the "Blue tongue disease" caused by the extreme drought in middle TN.

I wonder if the Alabama and Mississippi hunters have shown similar trends? That could account for trying to increase hunting by relaxing standards. Also I am curious about stats from those states.

Any more "Primitive Handi ideas"?
