Supplemental feeding for hunting; bring forward code sections related to.

This bill (SB 2763) proposed to reorganize existing Mississippi Code sections (49-7-33 and 49-7-33.1) related to deer hunting with supplemental feed, primarily to facilitate future policy changes. It would have allowed deer hunting using supplemental feed exclusively on private lands within designated zones, required the Wildlife Commission to study the program's impacts on deer populations, habitat, enforcement, and tourism, and mandated annual reports to the legislature. The bill also included penalties for violations, treating them as Class II offenses. However, it died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
