Acorn Rage???
 
Just wondering if you can hunt over acorn rage in Alabama?

deerhunt3r94 12-06-2010 05:11 PM

well acorn rage is a form of bait and if baiting is illegal in alabama then no you cant hunt over it, it baiting is legal then more power to ya

but IMHO baiting isnt hunting but to each there own

Yes you can, but it ain't legal.

I also live in alabama. Ive been wondering this to. I know corn is illgal to hunt over in Bama But what about all the stuff they use on tv like buck jam and c'mere deer? Mineral licks?

fishintay 12-07-2010 05:27 PM

I have been wondering that too.

I have used Acorn Rage, Swamp Donkey, C'Mere Deer,powder and spray, and 2 or 3 others here in Illinois before season to get some trail camera photos of what was wondering around and I may as well have put out rocks for they wanted nothing to do with any of it. I have more photos of coons and possums and skunks dealing with it than almost anything else. I have a few deer photos, but not like alot of the TV shows show they have using it. I have never hunted over it for it is illegal in Il as well.

This is all illegal in Alabama. Including corn, etc. Not to say it doesn't happen daily though.

I think the reason they sell it is because it is legal to put it on a game camera and here in MN i know you can hunt over powders and liquids such as Buck Bomb, Tinks, or C'mere deer. The law is that if it doesnt have any corn or anything in the ingrediates its legal.

That is in MN though!

Hey genius, all of that stuff is illegal ALL YEAR in Illinois!!

Legal? who cares, i'm from wisconsin and from what i've seen the dnr havn't done anything to help the wildlife here. I don't conform to their rules. I do what i think is good and healthy for the herd and other wildlife. Legal or not.

Thanks, Einstein. Did I say WHEN we had used it?!?!?!?! It just became illegal in the past year to use. Besides, I have never hunted over it in Illinois anyhow.

So if you think it is good for the herd, you would hunt at night year round?

I was under the impression the states game laws where printed and available to all - as well as being online. Is Alabama different?

NebBuckHunter 01-29-2011 03:38 PM

Here in nebraska it is illegal to HUNT over it, not illegal to just put it out there. Law specifically gives a time period of when it has to be removed if you plan on hunting the spot (i believe it has to be removed 60 days before you start hunting). I've never used the stuff, but honestly, most of the private places I hunt, no one would ever know it was there. Its not like it sends up a signal flare for all to see.

So why do stores sell it? because they can, and people will buy it.

LOL! It's been illegal since 2002! And not just to hunt over it, to put anything out, period.

Doesn't matter one way or the other. It didn't work no matter anyhow. Just a waste of money. And when we did use it, it was not illegal to have out in the field BEFORE hunting season, just could not use it to hunt over/with. Even though I don't always agree with the rules, I don't break them.

Well, since none of those products were around before '02, you were breaking the law, though maybe you did'nt know it. Because it WAS illegal to put out BEFORE hunting season.
