If illegal to bait and he is caught hunting over it or near it, regardless of who put it there...HE WILL BE CHARGED!!! Tell your Cuz to brain up and if he still wants to be a poacher stay the heck away from him.Don't go out with him, don't help him drag or dress his deer....guilty by association is a possibility. If he is a member of your club, you better get the gang together and tell him to remove the bait or get out...no telling what may happen if GW finds out 1 of your crew is illegally baiting...
