In Alabama, it is not legal to hunt any of your property that has a food source that was not grown there and left standing for the wild life. That's the point, if you have 10 acres with bait on it , you can not hunt it until 10 days after the bait is gone. It's the same if you had 10,000 acres with only one area baited. The game warden is probably going to spend more time trying to catch the guy with 10,000 acres than the guy with 10 acres. There are alot more people with small acreage baiting than those with larger tracts. The law needs to be specific, based on distance and visability, if it is going to be illegal to bait.
I have been on a large scale corp. dove hunt where some idiots put corn out on our spot over night. we were able to move up the hill, out of sight and close to a quarter mile up the dirt road and hunt all day. game warden even sat us up there. So, I have seen both sides of it.
