the long hammered point???
The commissioner seems to think the new rule
only applies to property with "
a year-round supplemental-feeding program" and has probably instructed his green army to enforce it along those lines. That's the impression I get from his quotes in the various media articles I've read.
Just trying to help my fellow hunters stay out of a mess. No need to get your panties in a wad.
"Alabama conservation officials: Supplemental feeding 'area' definition does not legalize baiting" Article *** click here *** Conservation Commissioner N. Gunter Guy Jr. and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Director Chuck Sykes both emphasized that the new definition was necessary after years of debate to finally clarify where people already on a year-round supplemental-feeding program may hunt while still feeding.
"This is to help landowners and land managers who are on a year-round supplemental-feeding program feel comfortable about hunting their land and it helps our enforcement officers feel more comfortable about determining what is supplemental feeding and what is baiting," Sykes said. "Supplemental feeding is very different than pouring a 50-pound bag of corn on the ground, then hunting over it. That is still illegal baiting."
