How this list was compiled: Written from the Code of Alabama 1975, title 9, chapter 11, as published by the Alabama Legislature at https://alison.legislature.state.al.us/code-of-alabama (sections 9-11-44, 9-11-44.1, 9-11-50, 9-11-51, 9-11-230, 9-11-232, 9-11-234, 9-11-235, 9-11-237, 9-11-241, 9-11-242, 9-11-244, 9-11-245, 9-11-250, 9-11-251, 9-11-257 and 9-11-270), and from the Alabama Administrative Code, chapter 220-2, the Game and Fish Division rules of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, as published by the Legislative Services Agency at https://admincode.legislature.state.al.us/administrative-code/220-2 (rules 220-2-.04, .05, .06, .07, .10, .11, .12, .15, .23, .24, .80, .85, .86, .111, .112, .139, .146 and .157). Each section and rule was opened on 2026-10-09; each question names its section or rule and links to it. The course facts in the topic "The course" (the 8 hours and written examination, the starting age of 10, the free in-person class, the subjects) are the department's own, read the same day on its Hunter Safety Education page, https://www.outdooralabama.com/HunterSafetyEducation, which is the published outline this page follows. The department publishes no number of questions and no pass mark for the examination, so none is given here. Licence: Own work. Questions, answer choices and explanations were written for this site from the text of the Alabama statutes and rules and the facts on the department's public page; nothing is copied from a hunter education manual, a study guide, an online course, a chapter review or an examination.
How it works
Unofficial practice for Alabama's hunter education examination: our own questions from the Code of Alabama and the Game and Fish rules, each naming its source. The course's firearm handling, first aid and survival lessons are not asked here.

A free Alabama hunter safety course study guide to the law
In gun deer season hunters wear 144 square inches of hunter orange above the waist or a full size orange hat. A deer or turkey goes on the harvest record before it is moved or field dressed, and into Game Check within 48 hours. Hunting another's land takes written permission, unless the landowner comes along.
Bait is lawful only for whitetail deer and feral swine on private or leased land, and only with a bait privilege license.
