The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has announced dates for youth dove, duck and deer hunts in Hale County.

The hunts are scheduled to take place at the M. Barnett Lawley Forever Wild Field Trial Area. The dates for the dove hunts are Saturday, Sept. 8 and Saturday, Sept. 15.

The youth deer and duck hunt dates are Nov. 21, 24 and 28, Dec. 1, 5, 12, 26 and 29, and Jan. 2, 5, 12, 19, 23 and 26.

Duck season closes on Nov. 28, so all duck hunting will occur on the three November dates.
