Current through Bulletin 2024-18, September 15, 2024
(1) A person may not hunt upland game by the aid of baiting, or on or over any baited area where a person knows or reasonably should know that the area is or has been baited. An area is considered baited for 10 days after bait is removed, or 10 days after all bait in an area is eaten. This section does not prohibit:
(a) the taking of any migratory game bird on
or over the following lands or areas that are not otherwise baited areas:
(i) standing crops or flooded standing crops,
including aquatics, standing, flooded or manipulated natural vegetation,
flooded harvested croplands, or lands or areas where seeds or grains have been
scattered solely as the result of a normal agricultural planting, harvesting,
post-harvest manipulation or normal soil stabilization practice;
(ii) from a blind or other place of
concealment camouflaged with natural vegetation;
(iii) from a blind or other place of
concealment camouflaged with vegetation from agricultural crops, as long as
such camouflaging does not result in the exposing, depositing, distributing or
scattering of grain or other feed; or
(iv) standing or flooded standing
agricultural crops where grain is inadvertently scattered solely as a result of
a hunter entering or exiting a hunting area, placing decoys or retrieving
downed birds.
(b) The
taking of any upland game, except Sandhill crane, on or over lands or areas
that are not otherwise baited areas, and where grain or other feed has been
distributed or scattered solely as the result of manipulation of an
agricultural crop or other feed on the land where grown or solely as the result
of a normal agricultural operation.
