Alabama Bait Bill Becomes Law

Bait privilege license on sale now

Hunters in Alabama can now hunt white-tailed deer (when in season) and feral pigs with the aid of bait on privately owned or leased lands if they have purchased and are in possession of an annual bait privilege license issued by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR). The new license, $15 for resident individual hunters and $51 for non-residents, is now available anywhere hunting licenses are sold including online at www.outdooralabama.com.

Approved by the Alabama Legislature in April 2019, the new baiting law applies only to white-tailed deer and feral pigs on privately owned or leased lands. Baiting any wildlife – including white-tailed deer and feral pigs – on public lands remains illegal.

Hunters in possession of a valid bait privilege license can hunt feral pigs with the aid of bait as soon as that license is purchased. However, like all recreational hunting and fishing licenses, the bait privilege license will expire annually on August 31. To use bait for white-tailed deer and feral pigs during the 2019-2020 season, hunters must purchase or renew their annual bait privilege license.

There are no exemptions for the bait privilege license. All hunters who choose to hunt white-tailed deer and feral pigs with the aid of bait must purchase the bait privilege license regardless of their age or hunting license status. This includes hunters 65 years of age and older, those under 16 years of age, persons hunting on their own property and lifetime license holders. Additionally, the bait privilege is limited to the bait privilege license holder only. Each hunter must have their own bait privilege license when utilizing bait during hunting.

Under the new law, ADCNR can suspend the use of the bait privilege license on a county, regional or statewide basis to prevent the spread of disease among wildlife.

For those who choose not to hunt with the aid of bait, the Area Definition Regulation, which provides supplemental feeding guidance for landowners, is still in effect.

Revenue generated by the sale of the new bait privilege license will be federally matched nearly three to one to help support conservation efforts in Alabama.

For more information, contact the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Law Enforcement Section at 334-242-3467.

To Purchase a Bait Privilege License Now Contact the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Law Enforcement Section at 334-242-3467.

Two things stand out in that article. If you buy a license now you will have to buy another one in August. Also that the state will get a 3-1 federally match revenue from the sale of the license. I'm surprised about that.

What if you feed, but don’t hunt? I have a feeder behind the house for the family to watch the wildlife. No hunting is allowed there. Does no one buy a license or does everyone but a license? I assume no one.

something else that stands out is that ........

"For those who choose not to hunt with the aid of bait, the Area Definition Regulation, which provides supplemental feeding guidance for landowners, is still in effect."

So, if you're not baiting but your neighbor is and you are unknowingly within the "area" of his bait you can get a ticket. How the Hell did this provision remain valid in this process?


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Reken they will suspend the license before the first day of gun season after everyone has purchased one?

Yeah that's some BS they should've cleared up. Like if your neighbor is baiting just across the line, u shouldn't be fined for it, cause after all you'd have to be trespassing on your neighbor's property to know that it's there, but yet you're supposed to know that it's there loco 🤣🤣🤣


Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

Between gas, corn, gun, ammo, scopes, hunting lease, etc that it took for me to go bait the hogs on our place today, the $16.38 for the Bait Privilege License was THE cheapest thing involved in the equation. J/S

No, you can’t be held liable for what your neighbor does on his land, and he can’t keep you from using all of your land.

You can be ticketed for anything, but if it doesn’t stand in court it doesn’t count.

Sure it didn't stand in court. But he was still ticketed and missed a days work because of it, so you must've missed my point in my post earlier, they should've finally cleared that up, so folks won't/can't be hassled over that ever again
