Here in Indiana, this is what our hunting reg. says about baiting.
See I wish the Georgia rule book would be as clear as Indiana. Without it being put in writing, it all comes down to a game wardens personal definition, and what one warden says is fine could get you in trouble in another warden's eye.
The letter of the law is Black and White, find out what the wildlife act says in regards to baiting and you'll have your answer. Regs are a guidline they don't give every detail but a law must be written in such matter that their is left no questions to what is legal and what is not for the justice system. All have a complete form available but few will wade through the several hundred pages of legal jargon to find out whats between the lines. The Judge and lawyers will though, so it is your responsibility to obtain this information and stay within the context of the laws.
What your speaking of is CO/Warden "
discretion" a grey area! They can not proscute past the arm of the law so if you know the laws and are within them it makes discretion moot. Outside the context of the law your opening your self up for trouble b/c you are in fact breaking laws which means your liable for your actions and hedging on "discretion" going in your favor.
MAKE THE CALL and put your mind and debate at ease.
