Under existing law and by rule 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 when a person purchases a baiting privilege license from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
This bill would also provide the Commissioner of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources with the authority to suspend the use of a baiting privilege license to prevent the spread of diseases among wildlife under certain conditions.
