*******************************************************************************

In lieu of a regular hunting license, either a resident or a nonresident may purchase for $8.00, plus a $2.00 issuance fee, a 7-Day commercial fowl hunting preserve license that allows that person the privilege of hunting only artificially propagated or pen-raised fowl on a licensed commercial fowl hunting preserve.

Residents 65 years of age and over are exempt from buying hunting licenses provided said resident has on his person while hunting a drivers license or proof of permanent Alabama residence and age.
