Pardon my ignorance in this matter but I seem to have some unanswered questions about this whole BAITING thing. I haven't hunter since they legalized something but I'm not real sure. My properties have a few different neighbors and I have to traverse through them to access a few fields. 2 different clubs all had feeders spinning with corn on the ground in plain sight. Must be legal right?

Someone besides Bham Fred bring me up to speed on this

You can feed but not bait, state says there is a difference. State says all they did was define "area", or something like that . In simple it must be out of sight and 100 yards plus. I'm sure the master baiters will correct me.

All depends if you're method is "it's only illegal when you're caught", or legal by law. The law is 100+ yards and out of sight.

According to green jeans at the queer dove hunt, 100 yards away blocked by natural vegetation and you can't see the deer while eating that tasty Apple corn. You can shoot them all day long coming to and from the bait. Hey can I shoot 3 guns at the same time?

Regardless of distance it must not be where you can see the feed. It must be out of your line of site by natural terrain features or vegetation. It also must be 100 yards or greater. They defined a baited area to be less than 100 yards or anything in direct line of site.

Please understand even if you meet BOTH criteria an officer well versed in written articulation can still arrest you if he can convince the court you were using bait as an aid to assist you in attracting deer to an area to hunt. All they did was presume your innocence until proven guilty. That's why it's a rebuttable presumption. You're presumed to be hunting without the aid of bait if the feed is 100 yards and out of your line of sight, BUT if the officer can articulate in court that the circumstances leading to your arrest were in violation of our no baiting law, then you can still be arrested. Innocent until proven guilty.
