sgt, ya already know the answer. LOL it's to attract deer to yer area to shoot them. Period. The state legislature said this is illegal.

Problem is the beloved DCNR passed a regulation saying that you could hunt 100 yds away and out of sight of BAIT(their wording). And folks believed Sykes when he made his statements at meetings.

Now folks are getting tickets for hunting over bait(law) when in compliance with the regulation. Pretty shitty deal. Pretty shitty regulation.

I'd fight a ticket all the way to the Alabama Supreme Court for hunting over bait if I was in compliance with the regulation. And Sykes would get damn tired of answering subpoenas to appear at my trials....but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't get past the first jury trial in Circuit Court.


Wonder what the GWs thought that heard Sykes say the reg means what it said, 100yds and out of sight , nothing more , nothing less? And lets not forget he doesn't have an officer that can read a deer's mind. All our boys up in Northeast Bama heard it same time I did. Maybe he didn't get the memo out to all of them. laugh




"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
