Session
Regular Session 2017
Title
Hunting, bait, authorize the taking of whitetail deer or feral swine by means of bait, landowners given certain authority, Secs. 9-11-244, 9-11-245 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, by regulation of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, as it relates to hunting deer on private lands, there is a rebuttable presumption that any bait or feed 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 areas where the hunter is attempting to kill or take the deer.

This bill would allow the taking of whitetail deer or feral swine by means of bait and would require that the bait be contained.

This bill would authorize a landowner to give permission in writing to another person to hunt over bait on the landowner's property for whitetail deer or feral swine.
