SF 2013: Relating to the baiting of deer on public or private property and providing penalties
Became SF 2241 · Its progress continues under the new number.
What it does
This bill prohibits hunting, taking, or attempting to take deer on or in a baited area. The bill also provides that if a person places feed in a baited area, all feed must be removed from that area at least days before the opening day of the first fall deer hunting season. An area remains a baited area for days following complete removal of all feed from the area, except for salt, minerals, or any other feed that will dissolve and leach into the soil, in which case the area is considered a permanently baited area until such time as all contaminated soil is removed or until there is no longer evidence that deer are artificially attracted to or are accessing the site.
