The 1998 Migratory bird treaty reform had 3 amendments and apparently we were never informed about the changes. It put USDA and CES in charge, to decide if you were baited or not and made it legal for a conservation area to bait. It was put on a 5 year program, along with the farm bill. If the resource to another state was being effected or the agents in the field were being effected the law would have to be evaluated or changed.
