yup, looks like a change to me also..
Proposed feeding regulations
http://www.mdwfp.com/media/231546/4...lemental_feeding_of_wild_animals_proposed.pdf
Looks like they are proposing changing the supplemental feeding regulations.
2. Any type of feed or food product may be used in feeders
Also don't see the exemption for backyard feeders "within the culturage of the home".

They still cant get the wording right.
1. From the opening day of deer archery season to the close of the spring turkey
season, hunters must be both 100 yards away from, and not within the line of sight of feed or a
feeder which contains feed.
2. For the purpose of this regulation, within the line of sight means being hidden
from view by natural vegetation or naturally occurring terrain features.
They either need to insert a NOT in there or change the definition. As in "not within the line of sight means....." They had this same definition in the previous rule.

From what I read rice bran is now legal again... The old regs must have been hurting somebody's pocket book! ... Plus you can use corn year round. I wonder if it allows you to hunt hogs over bait outside of hunting season now?

From the day after the spring turkey season to the day prior to the opening of deer archery season, grain or grain products may be used, but may only be provided from above ground covered feeders or stationary spin cast feeders. Feeders may be placed in plain sight with no distance restriction. Areas must be clear of all bait for 10 days prior to hunting game animals.
Its not proposed. Its the Law. You can now put corn in your feeders 12 months a yr.
Why not post a link to this info if it is the case? Do you really think people here are just going to take your word for it?Its not proposed. Its the Law. You can now put corn in your feeders 12 months a yr.
Uuuhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm.... Yeah.... That would be the little blue link at the top of this page in the original post. [confused]Why not post a link to this info if it is the case? Do you really think people here are just going to take your word for it?
Actually it is "proposed" at this point in time.
Only a lawyer would notice that... [laugh]They still cant get the wording right.

Uuuhhhhhhhhmmmmmm if you were smart enough to open said link then you would know that link still listed the new regs as proposed! [confused]Uuuhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm.... Yeah.... That would be the little blue link at the top of this page in the original post. [confused]
That is good stuff right there, looks like their definition of "not within the line of sight", means out in the wide open![biggrin]They still cant get the wording right.

what are they up to?
The way I read this proposal for anyone to offer food to any wild animal you would have to own or lease at least a minium of 6.5 acres of land. This puts an end to back yard feeders but also stops birds feeders and hummingbird feeders. There are tons of folks that enjoy feeding and watching wildlife but never hunt. Could the legislature be trying to cater to gun clubs and large land owners? Kinda sounds like that to me.[confused]

I see your point, but believe it is more of an oversight than anything else. I did notice that the back yard feeders no longer were exempt but assumed that they probably just figured it was no longer needed since any feed could be provided year round. I did not think about the 100 yard from property line thing now applying to homes since they are no longer exempt. I'm sure they don't want to make mama mad and stop the back yard feeding thing. Someone was probably just not thinking it through.The way I read this proposal for anyone to offer food to any wild animal you would have to own or lease at least a minium of 6.5 acres of land.

To me everything we do that further isolates people from nature and the critters that live there is not good. Suburban families that live near wildlife habitat should be encouraged to enjoy the natural world and to care about and respect wild things. I hope this is just an oversight and the language in the proposal will be corrected before it becomes law. Especially in a wonderful place like Mississippi!
The "Proposed" Feeding regulations have now moved to the 2014 FINAL RULES status on the MDWFP web site.
Only1left, I don't see any reference to a minimum number of acres. Where are you seeing that?
The regulation does not state minimum acres. I think he was calculating how many acres it would take to have a feeder that met the 100 yard from property line requirement.Only1left, I don't see any reference to a minimum number of acres. Where are you seeing that?
in my opinion, we "one day" will be able like texas, kansas and others to hunt over the feed. Not sure i see the harm in it, just gives the landowner a choice as to how to harvest wildlife.
Yea, except if you can't afford $15 bags of corn year round, you won't have any animals to hunt. Also, it falsly inflates the carrying capacity of the land/environment which means when you don't feel like or can't afford to feed all the extra animals counting on your feed go hungry. Not to mention, the **** and hog population thrives creating a whole nother mess of problems. No there is no harm in it.
