Morrison, if a property has had bait and minerals placed on it during the off season, would fencing off the area be a viable alternative to digging up and removing a bunch of soil? The bait/minerals that were visible would be removed as best as could be. The fencing would be with the sole purpose of excluding deer from that area, far enough away that they couldn't reach thru the wire to get to the area. "T" posts and woven wire fence like they use for livestock (not hog panels).

The administrative rule that governs baiting does not allow for this exception. I have posted the administrative rule below. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

(w) An area is considered baited for ten (10) days after the removal of the bait and the baited soil. Hunting an area, such as an orchard, which may be attractive to deer as the result of normal agricultural activity, is not prohibited.

The information provided in the answers to these questions is not to be considered or implied to be legal advice. The information is to educate individuals on Indiana Code and the Indiana Administrative Code as they pertain to regulations with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. A person should contact an attorney for legal advice.
