I just got an email from the Alabama Department of Conservation and in it is a link titled “Area Definition” so I’m thinking it’s gonna define what an area is for baiting but noooo all it says is the “Area Definition” for hunting over bait is in effect for the 2018-2019 hunting season so don’t do it. Don’t hunt over bait. What the devil? They are just not going to nail themselves down and define what a “Area” is. Not once did they define or sugest what an “Area” is. If that had been a school assignment they would get an “F”. SMH

So what is an “Area”? With so many people baiting potentially anyone could be hunting in a “Area” of baiting and not even know it.

Ambiguity = More tickets.

Here's a summary of the law:

Corn within 100 yards = baiting
Corn beyond 100 yard (and out of line of site)= not baiting unless we want it to be

Once they made the out of site and hundred yards away for deer and corn I thought that was the rule for everything. I easily could have got a ticket for wheat and turkeys a couple years ago because it was in a plot like 200 yards from where I parked and I thought I was good. The stupidest rule ever.

Wrong board - that's for deer hunting, not turkey. I guess the old rule that feed on a tract of land meant you couldn't turkey hunt at all is still in effect for turkey
