Schmidt</a><h4>Have the 20+ years of crying wolf on CWD finally caught up to deer managers across North America? With baiting back in play for numerous states, it appears that just might be the case.</h4><h4>Tennessee</h4>It will be legal to hunt over bait in Tennessee on private land once the state agency establishes its rules by a deadline of Aug. 1, 2026. While baiting had been legal (except in CWD counties), <a href="https://fox17.com/news/local/baiting-poaching-and-drones-among-bills-considered-by-tennessee-lawmakers-this-session" target="_blank">hunting within 250 yards</a> of it was prohibited until at least 10 days from the time all evidence of any bait had been removed.<img src="https://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/wp-content/uploads/baiting-back-on-the-table-in-the-US.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Tennessee’s new law, which takes effect on July 1, 2025, but will not be implemented until 2026, allows hunting of white-tailed deer and wild-appearing swine over bait on privately owned or leased land with a special <a href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=9f05e2405697a5fa&sxsrf=AE3TifNWV-JEVcxPLh2LxTmQDF4mMBeYOA%3A1749131109959&q=bait+privilege+license&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwic4-WTtdqNAxWwlokEHatJN28QxccNegUIigEQAQ&mstk=AUtExfAw5hwzyGjkP1l8Sj5N0ga5fGr_eEjOv92P5CkbuKQS_3At_MORv9TGb2_lDXtwzshFCGPK1FuggjniMDC5FHtEfRDLYvvJgw_YzP7TF_4jvMBC8XXopCgUuAI6Kw3NOQYyorJYA_WgxPLL0Aq8BVu0k4Vk0p9miN3kO5ikL6x2ZR6y_O4sw-zuMClmVjYMeFgNFMWKhvSgznRR1vOFYQutCyvLUvPYkERZvdKPN1Cs5tifG649-o8C2mGNKdf0OcVvNq7a1SHLIiA7zwaldeGuieEXmw8WVRn2cgmP6NyH6VR37J3KDgsP0KNGboBm2v1YyNoG7GRa9hQtuiwekTNsy1IiHPN89HwRomwqECB5Xd73tVFopSzYj19hS9GDrUbYV3Yr8V_uOkyGfZ9YJNW-WSuvQBvmRS3CgvBowqhmaiY_P-KIfrx5qWBG3-FPnKERoesY3EJFCkQyZ4YubyoK5M5m0svQX7Jwtu5kLatvLVRsmP1gyZcVJ_qc6L2bvAg4XEJRGAkH6LPidx9cimGbrjqMV0MBTQCGNGc6sQ&csui=3" target="_blank">bait privilege license</a>. This license, which will cost $50 for residents and $100 for nonresidents, is required to hunt over bait, and it applies specifically to those animals. According to <a href="https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1819122#:~:text=AI%20Summary,privately%20owned%20or%20leased%20land." target="_blank">Tennessee Senate Bill 0869</a>, all hunters in a hunting party who hunt over bait must purchase this license, even if they are otherwise exempt from hunting license requirements, including landowners and those under 13 years of age. The state wildlife agency will have the authority to suspend baiting privileges without refund if necessary to prevent disease spread among wildlife populations, and must establish rules by Aug. 1, 2026, specifying what constitutes acceptable bait, the amount of bait that can be used, and the conditions for using the license. Hunting over bait will not be allowed until the 2026 hunting season, once rules have been established.<h4>Key details:</h4> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bait Privilege License: Hunters must purchase this license to hunt over bait.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Private Land Only: This new law applies to privately owned and leased land, not public lands.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Target Animals: The bait privilege license allows hunting of white-tailed deer and wild-appearing swine.</li> </ul>NDA, other States are trying wrongheaded stuff. North Dakota got it right. The above article is current from yesterday.<h4>North Dakota</h4>In April, <a href="https://ndlegis.gov/assembly/69-2025/regular/bill-overview/bo2137.html" target="_blank">Senate Bill 2137</a> was signed into law which allows hunting over bait on private property. While it has always been legal to place bait anywhere in the state, it was previously illegal to hunt over bait in a hunting unit with a <a href="https://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/content/articles/why-does-may-be-the-main-reason-for-the-spread-of-cwd" target="_blank">CWD</a> detection, or within 25 miles of a detected unit. <a href="https://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/content/articles/deer-news/governor-let-landowners-bait-deer" target="_blank">The bill now allows hunting around feed</a> in the once-restricted units.SB 2137 reads: “Hunting big game animals using supplemental feed not prohibited or restricted. The department may not adopt a rule or implement a policy prohibiting or restricting the use of supplemental feed on private property for hunting a big game animal.”</blockquote>
