Supreme Court of Alabama March 10, 2000, 1981083 (Ex Parte Phillips)

W. A. Phillips was charged with hunting over a baited field, in violation of § 9-11-244, Ala. Code 1975. At trial, Phillips denied having any knowledge that the field in which he was hunting was baited. The trial court, over Phillips's objection, held that hunting over a baited field is a strict-liability offense.
