Hunting on Wildlife Management Area Lands

The David K. Nelson Wildlife Management Area (Demopolis) encompasses nearly 8,000 acres that sprawl along Demopolis Lake in Marengo, Sumter, Hale and Greene counties. The area provides excellent habitat for many game and non-game wildlife species.

The wildlife management area is operated by the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and offers one of the best public hunting areas in Alabama.

Hunters with an Alabama Wildlife Management Area permit along with a valid state hunting license can hunt seasonally in this area.  For more information about the David K. Nelson Wildlife Management Area or to obtain a wildlife management area permit call (334) 289-8030.

Step 2: Send an email to the Black Warrior and Tombigbee Demopolis Site Office with the information requested below. This information is required in order for your hunting permit to be valid.  A response email from the BW&T Office will not be sent.
