From the way I understand it the CAB basically just defined the term "area".

You must be 100 yards from the feeder and it must be out of your line of sight.

As far as I can tell, no other regulations attached.

Answer is pretty simple. If you have questions of whether you are hunting over bait, then you probably are. I know if the State doesn't define it for some they can't figure out ways around the rule of hunting over bait.

Ok. I see where someone cleared it up. Two different rules were getting mixed together.

It's not simple unless the confusion is cleared up to make it simple like it should be.

Your definition of an "affected area" may be entirely different from mine. When statutes are written, the accused is not supposed to be left to guess at what is required. It is not fair to leave interpretation of criminal statutes up to each individual law enforcement officer.


Here's a discription of the "Void for Vagueness Doctrine" from an Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals opinion:

Quote:
... The court has said:

"`As generally stated, the void-for vagueness doctrine requires that a penal statute define the criminal offense with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited and in a manner that does not encourage arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.' Kolender v. Lawson, 461 U.S. 352 [357], 103 S.Ct. 1855, 1858, 75 L.Ed.2d 903 (1983) (citations omitted). A statute challenged for vagueness must therefore be scrutinized to determine whether it provides both fair notice to the public that certain conduct is proscribed and minimal guidelines to aid officials in the enforcement of that proscription. See Kolender, supra; Grayned v. City of Rockford, 408 U.S. 104, 92 S.Ct. 2294, 33 L.Ed.2d 222 (1972). If the statute `either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application,' it is void for vagueness. Connally v. General Construction Co., 269 U.S. 385, 391, 46 S.Ct. 126, 127, 70 L.Ed. 322 (1926)."
McCorkle v. State, 446 So.2d 684, 685 (Ala. Crim.App.1983). See also State v. Gooden, 570 So.2d 865 (Ala.Crim.App.1990).

"The void for vagueness doctrine ... protects against legislation providing insufficient warning of what conduct is unlawful. E.g., Village of Hoffman Estates v. Flipside, Hoffman Estates, Inc., 455 U.S. 489, 102 S.Ct. 1186, 71 L.Ed.2d 362 (1982). The doctrine was stated by the United States Supreme Court in Kolender v. Lawson, 461 U.S. 352 [357], 103 S.Ct. 1855, 1858, 75 L.Ed.2d 903 (1983), as follows: `... the void-for-vagueness doctrine requires that a penal statute define the criminal offense with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited and in a manner that does not encourage arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.' (Citations omitted.) The Court in Kolender, supra, further opined that the most important aspect of the void-for-vagueness doctrine is `not actual notice, but the other principal element of the doctrine—the requirement that a legislature establish minimal guidelines to govern law enforcement,' quoting Smith v. Goguen, 415 U.S. 566, 94 S.Ct. 1242, 39 L.Ed.2d 605 (1974). These minimal guidelines should be provided in order to avoid `a standardless sweep [that] allows policemen, prosecutors and juries to pursue their personal predilections.' Smith, supra, at 575, 94 S.Ct. at 1248." 1265*1265 Kerr v. State, 474 So.2d 142, 144 (Ala.Crim. App.1984), rev'd on other grounds, Ex parte Kerr, 474 So.2d 145 (Ala.1985). ...

Disagree, laws and regs should NOT be up to the officer. In this case in sight or out of sight. I agree with 9er, welcome back BTW.
Where does this leave the old reg? Lets say you have "feed" out and are 100+ yards away and out of sight. The day the last grain is gone you move closer than 100 yards, has the "feed" now magically become "bait" because you haven't waited 10 days since last grain is gone per old reg? crazy confused
IMO,They should make it legal or illegal and quit playing.

If the game warden is left to interpret the law, then the law and the Commissioner's interpretation of the law in the form of this rule is subject to being declared void if the accused chooses to fight it.

The Commissioner is a lawyer, so he should know better. His opinion just hasn't been challenged by the rght person yet:

Here's what our courts have already declared:

Quote:
"`[A]mbiguous criminal statutes must be narrowly interpreted, in favor of the accused.' United States v. Herring, 933 F.2d 932, 937 (11th Cir.1991). `[I]t is well established that criminal statutes should not be "extended by construction."' Ex parte Evers, 434 So.2d 813, 817 (Ala.1983). "`[C]riminal statutes must be strictly construed, to avoid ensnaring behavior that is not clearly proscribed.'" United States v. Bridges, 493 F.2d 918, 922 (5th Cir.1974).

"`In United States v. Boston & M. RR Co., 380 U.S. 157, 85 S.Ct. 868, 870, 13 L.Ed.2d 728 (1965), the Supreme Court stated:

"`"A criminal statute is to be construed strictly, not loosely. Such are the teachings of our cases from United States v. Wiltberger, 5 Wheat. 76, 5 L.Ed. 37 [(1820)], down to this day. Chief Justice Marshall said in that case:

"`"`The rule that penal laws are to be construed strictly, is, perhaps, not much less old than construction itself. It is founded on the tenderness of the law for the rights of individuals; and on the plain principle that the power of punishment is vested in the legislative, not in the judicial department.' Id., p. 95.

"`"The fact that a particular activity may be within the same general classification and policy of those covered does not necessarily bring it within the ambit of the criminal prohibition. United States v. Weitzel, 246 U.S. 533, 38 S.Ct. 381, 62 L.Ed. 872 [(1918)]."

"`Moreover, "one `is not to be subjected to a penalty unless the words of the statute plainly impose it,' Keppel v. Tiffin Savings Bank, 197 U.S. 356, 362, 25 S.Ct. 443, 49 L.Ed. 790 [(1905)]. `[W]hen choice has to be made between two readings of what conduct Congress has made a crime, it is appropriate, before we choose the harsher alternative, to require that Congress should have spoken in language that is clear and definite.' United States v. Universal C.I.T. Credit Corp., 344 U.S. 218, 221-222, 73 S.Ct. 227, 229-230, 97 L.Ed. 260 [(1952)]." United States v. Campos-Serrano, 404 U.S. 293, 297, 92 S.Ct. 471, 474, 30 L.Ed.2d 457 (1971).'

"Bridges, 493 F.2d at 923.

"`Words used in the statute must be given their natural, plain, ordinary, and commonly understood meaning.' Alabama Farm Bureau Mut. Casualty Ins. Co. v. City of Hartselle, 460 So.2d 1219, 1223 (Ala.1984). The general rule of construction for the provisions of the Alabama Criminal Code is found in Ala. Code 1975, § 13A-1-6: `All provisions of this title shall be construed according to the fair import of their terms to promote justice and to effect the objects of the law, including the purposes stated in section 13A-1-3.' Among the purposes stated in § 13A-1-4 is that found in subsection (2): `To give fair warning of the nature of the conduct proscribed.'"

599 So.2d at 1264-65. Moreover, "the law favors rational and sensible construction," and "[i]n construing statutes, courts are not required to abandon common sense." Hankins v. State, 989 So.2d 610, 618 (Ala. Crim.App.2007).


Archie Phillip's case is a clear example of a Commissioner's personal opinion being struck down as contradicting settled law. That can happen again if hunters are not given fair warning of what is expected by a Commissioner's rules.

You should care even if you don't hunt over bait. Like me, you probably hunt where some folks use corn for drawing deer to cameras and hunting over bait. They probably have permits from the Commissioner to hunt over bait like he has given on the property I hunt.

One day it is considered to be legal by the Commissioner, the next day he will nail you to the wall for doing it.

I don't want to get caught in his money trap.

I hope they remove the 'with the aid of bait' part too. I was told by an over-zealous Warden that it was illegal to release my dogs at deer protein feeders in the Summer time without a permit since it was using bait.

Just make it legal or illegal and be done with it!

What did he say about the permits he signs himself to allow game animals to be hunted over bait? Who gave him authority to ignore the law?

Or permits he signs to hunt deer over bait instead of opening the season on does to reduce the population like the law requires?

It's time to dump this whole mess and be done with it like you say.

Yeah, and you would have to sign at the bottom of that permit vowing to abide by all laws and ordinances.

Are you willing to lie to use a depredation permit? I'm not.



Quoting directly from a depredation permit:

Quote:
By accpeting this permit, the permittee agrees to abide by all state and local laws and ordinances.


That agreement doesn't allow you to do anything that a person without a permit cannot do. It just means game wardens will look the other way while you do it.

People on your property hunt deer over corn/feed with a special permit from the commissioner? Is that what you're saying?
