Here's the actual wording of the new rule as it now appears in the Administrative Code of Alabama:


220-2-.157 Definition Of Area Regulation. For the purposes of Section 9-11-244, Code of Ala. 1975, and Rule 220-2-.11, Alabama Administrative Code, as it applies to the hunting of deer and feral swine, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that any bait or feed (as defined in Section 9-11-244) located beyond 100 yards from the hunter and not within the line of sight of the hunter, is not a lure, attraction or enticement to, on or over the area where the hunter is attempting to kill or take the deer or feral swine. For the purpose of this regulation, “not within the line of sight” means being hidden from view by natural vegetation or naturally occurring terrain features. This regulation shall not apply on public lands.

Notice that there is nothing about an "ongoing supplemental feeding program" in the language of the rule.






Note: Here's what 220-2-.11 says about baiting:

… (7) Any area where feeding has taken place, until all the feed has been removed or consumed for at least 10 days prior to such hunting.
