STATE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREAS 



Of the 28 State Wildlife Management Areas and Refuges in Alabama, only 

 one, the Frank W. and Rob M. Boy kin Wildlife Management Area (Citronelle 

 quadrangle) is located in the Mobile and Baldwin County study area. Most of 

 the Boykin Wildlife Management Area is located in adjacent Washington County, 

 with less than a sixth of the total area of 23,350 acres located in Mobile 

 County. 



Hunting within the area is controlled and permits are required. These 

 permits are issued by the Management Area Headquarters on either a seasonal 

 or daily basis, depending upon type of game hunted and weapon used. Gun, 

 primitive weapon, and bow-and-arrow hunting all have designated seasons and 

 regulations, although bag limits are the same. Game animals hunted include 

 deer, raccoon, opossum, turkey, quail, squirrel, and rabbit (Alabama Depart- 

 ment of Conservation and Natural Resources 1981).

WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS 



In the State of Alabama, six rivers have been authorized for study under 

 the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (PL 90-452) as amended. 

 These included the Styx, Blackwater, and Perdido Rivers (Pensacola and Bay 

 Minette quadrangles) and a short section of Soldier Creek in Baldwin County, 

 and the Escatawpa River (Mobile quadrangle) and a portion of one of its tri- 

 butaries, Brushy Creek, in Mobile County (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1981).
