Default RE: CORN FIELDS (BAITING)

ORIGINAL: alwyshntn

I've hunted state owned land in Illinois where it is illegal to bait but the state made the farmer leasing the ground leave so much of the crop stand for wildlife.[8D]Go figure[&:]Here in MO some of the state ground is done in the same fashion...
You've never heard of the Conservation Reserve Program ? You should thank the farmers who participate , they are a large part of the reason that we have game to hunt today .

My state defines a pile of corn that has been intentionally introduced to attract game animalsas bait , the same cut over field it came from is not , even if cobs are laying on the ground . Food plots are legal here , dumping out truckloads of the produce that grew there is not . You can hunt over recently baled hay , but don't spread that hay out if you don't want a ticket . The lawsare measured in degrees , and they frequently don't make sense , but they are there to be obeyed .
