I wouldn't say that. The 15.00 fee would have to blow the tickets out of the water wouldn't it? I dont use bait but I will pay the fee to cover myself in case someone else (such as a neighboring land owner) puts out some corn. I have a field in the northeast corner of my place that I heard a spin feeder throw corn at 3:00 and again at 3:30 during the season. I do not know where it is (it is was more than 100 yards away) but I could hear it plain as day. I did not hunt that stand after that for fear the GW would write me up. It is unfortunate that a neighbors bait could result in my getting a ticket. With the fee being paid, I will view it like having uninsured motorist on my auto policy.
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

You cannot receive a ticket for a feeder that you cannot see on your neighbor's property.
And, I would wager that any ticket written for hunting over one in plain sight on property that you do not own, lease or otherwise control or have access to would easily be beaten in Court.

I think they should make it illegal to hunt over food plots. Since they're worried about cwd. Fair chase means just that. Chased by a pack of smelly hounds. Since shooting them while they're trying to eat is unfair.
Like I said before. If we ban together, and threaten to stop buying hunting license. I'll bet things get changed quick fast and in a hurry.

It will most definitely cause people to find new ways to provide feed! The best way I have found is exclusion fences and gravity feeders.

Danny, you seem to think the bill is dead this year, or will SB271 some how get it passed? I think that unless there is contamination from prions then there is no way any deer can get the disease. If you aren't exposed to poison ivy, the claps, measles or anything that has an effect on your body you aren't going to get it. The baiting has no affect either way, unless the prions are in the area and if they are there then the baiting part isn't going to matter that much..

It is being negotiated.....that is all I know.
It is supposed to come up on the floor again this coming week.
I kind of expect to see an amendment to it.
Or, quite possibly, it Passes on through and SB271 just kinda dies away.

I really don't understand why politicians should be the ones deciding one way or the other. Do they really even have a clue what's good or bad for wildlife?

There are too many people entirely obsessed to the point of total mania over wanting to hunt deer over piles of corn.
Thankfully, they are a small minority of Alabama hunters.

Unfortunately our system is set up in a way that our hunting rights/privileges are in the politicians hands but fortunately their job is in our hands so if we want to make changes then we may need to change them (replace them)

They are not just "politicians" - they are ELECTED LEADERS - and they are not supposed to bow down and approve every whim of man, especially small vocal minorities. And with respect to hunting they are supposed to protect and safeguard the sacred tradition, not dumb it down. I think we have enough dumbing down in this country already. Whole country is going into the shchitter and you have a bunch of grown men on here whining and crying and stomping their feet for corn baiting as if it is the end of the world issue of our time. Totally pathetic.

Only people I see whining so far are the ones FOR more Laws.
Laws only take Rights away.
They do not Grant them.

Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.
