Nothing like an illegal bait/lure to really start your season off right.
Hmmm... wondering if those against baiting ever hunt over soybean,tobacco,sorghum,corn,clover or alfalfa fields. Or any other crop planted by farmers in your respective areas. Or maybe hunt stands of oak,beech or hickory trees. I hear the deer love the orange groves down south. Maybe hunt over known watering holes?
Since we know this is where the deer are going to feed or water, aren't we all using some type of food/water as bait???
In NY its illegal to hunt over bait.
If they grow out of the ground "naturally" they are not considered baits.
So in NY, its illegal to hunt over a pile of corn,apples,etc., but I can plant a small hunting plot in the middle of the woods(not a big food plot), hunt it and thats legal/ethical? Too, are deer scent attractants legal in NY? If so, would you consider them a form of 'bait' also?
