like the rest said. When the warden walks up he couldn't care if the little salt lick ferries came down and dropped them off. If he's sitting within a certain distance of the bait he's busted. We had a guy get busted here in Pa during bear season for the same thing. We usually put out some feed over the summer for the deer and bear but 3 weeks before hunting season we take everything out of the back field so we don't get busted for hunting over bait. Well, my one uncle is too old to walk up the mountain any more so he usually heads about 100 to 200 yards out along the bottom and sits close to camp while the rest of us go out. Sure enough a game warden walked over to our camp and found him. They walked him back to camp and went to where we used to have the food and salt lick. they scooped up some dirt and tested it and told him that the salt contant was too high in the soil and since he was sitting on a trail that lead to the "bait" he would be fined. Personally I think they just had it in for us but either way he had to pay.
