RE: Is this consider baiting???IL hunters
What you consider it to be can differ considerably from how a game warden views it . Are there oaks where your stand is located ? If not you'll have a very hard time convincing the GW that the acorns got there by themselves . Most states go by the rule of consumption , if the animal can get to it and eat it , and you put it there , then it's baiting regardless of what it is . Here the ground is still considered baited for 10 days after the removal of the item .
BTW , if there are oaks on the property then why not just move your stand closer to them ?
