HB137 Alabama 2017 Session

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

To amend Sections 9-11-244 and 9-11-245 of the Code of Alabama 1975, relating to hunting; to allow the taking of whitetail deer or feral swine by means of bait; to require that bait be contained; and to 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.
