I have zero concern with any of the hypothetical ways you think I may get in trouble. Tell that to my neighbors friend and others who were fined due to bait being within 300' bait that they didn't know was there. What's hypothetical? The illegal regulation says possess a weapon of any kind within 300' of bait. 300' is a 600' diameter = 6.49 acres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you get fined just pay the fine in spite of the fact that the ruling law allows baiting in you aren't elevated or in a structure of any kind.

nickmarch Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I'm not concerned either. If I ever get fined for being within 300' of bait while turkey hunting from the ground I won't lay the fine I will go to court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a regulation says one thing and a law says something different or opposite the law rules the regulation is void. It's basic hierarchy. In addition there are laws that must be followed when making regulations. F&W ignored a multitude of those laws when they made the regulation. One being that a regulation must be an interpretation of a law. There is no law that can be interpreted to forbid baiting turkey when hunting from the ground and not in a structure of any kind. I'm not going to go thru this again! If any of you want to bend over and get hammered by illegally made regulations you go right ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickmarch Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Read the first paragraph on page 26 of the digest. Specifically where it says that the regulations implement the Statute laws. The statute law says that you can hunt game birds over bait when not elevated or in a structure. The turkey baiting regulation does not implement any law.

mazzgolf Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 How in the world did this degenerate into a thread about turkey hunting over bait? And after all that, a dead deer is still sitting in a trashcan by the curb outside my house. They never came back to pick it up. johnyanu and RPK0620 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law rules over a regulation. There is also a law that you can not agree to do something illegal and the regulation is illegal. Mazzgolf...Sorry that your thread was taken over. Im blaming lunatic. Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
