Amends TCA Title 70.
Tennessee HB0938 amends the prohibition against hunting with bait by allowing the use of bait for hunting whitetail deer on privately owned or leased lands, provided hunters possess a valid deer bait privilege license. The bill establishes a fee for the license, sets requirements for all hunters in a party to have the license, and authorizes the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) to manage baiting practices to prevent wildlife disease spread. Additionally, an amendment removes the provision allowing hunting with agricultural feed and clarifies definitions related to pets in the context of rabies control measures.
