Alabama Department of Conservation regulations restrict baiting and feeding of deer and other game animals statewide during hunting seasons, with separate rules on bear feeding and migratory bird baiting under federal law.
Alabama Code Section 9-11-244 and ADCNR regulations prohibit hunting deer, feral swine, or turkey over bait under specific conditions; the bait privilege license created in Act 2019-15 allows feeding on private land while hunting only with a license. Year-round, supplemental feeding that concentrates wildlife and creates disease transmission risk for chronic wasting disease is regulated by ADCNR. Feeding bears is prohibited under bear management rules. These rules apply uniformly across the state on private and public land. Migratory bird baiting is also barred by federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, enforced statewide.
Hunting over bait without bait privilege license is a misdemeanor with fines, hunting license suspension, and forfeiture of equipment and game taken.
