Can I use my rifle in 8G or is this shotgun only?  Alabama swamps.  Thanks!

Rifle...... however that swamp might be shotgun only like other state managed areas... I would call or email the local DEC offier for the area..

I dont see anything about rifles but thought this was interesting

 

"Hunters may not possess axes, hatchets, saws, nails, tacks, paint or flagging for the marking of trees and shrubs."

 

I definitely had bright eyes and a saw in my pack while I was in there

I am sure they didn't mean you Tacks.  It was for the other hunters.

A trip in the paddy wagon during spring break is not prison and you did not have to perform those acts for your protection during those 3hrs - secret is safe buddy

Regulations are you have to be 8ft off the ground so carry a portable climber stand with you set it up the day before you plan to hunt

I had tags for 8 g 8h back in the day. Stayed in Batavia but couldn't find state. Stopped into a taxidermist shop bow shop I think in Leroy. He was a goose hunter and had a lady friend who only goose hunted. They made a call and gave me a address. I went knocking. A little old lady was preparing dinner comes to the door we speak her son comes over asked me to join for dinner I politefully decline. I told him my situations and I was given permission to hunt. I volunteered to help the farmer harvest corn. He said hunt if you get one well drag it out with the tractor. Was wondering if anyone out there remembers a taxidermy shop near Leroy think he had a giraffe in there. Great diner not far away. Also had permission behind the lady hunters house. Never killed anything but seen deer. I was in the military at time but if I wasn't a kid I'd have locked the spots down but you live you learn. Spots like that are hard to come by. Also I ate a the diner everyday the cook let me hunt his property.
