... So, by your logic, if someone were to stock a corn feeder, so that it had feed in it every day of the year, it would be ok?

After all, the food would be there every day for all the animals to enjoy even when it wasn't open season. Clearly, squirrels, grouse, pheasants, turkeys and bears would have just as much access to afeeder as deer would have to a 60 acre plot of New Zealand Pro Graze.

I honestly am not trying to play "holier than thou" and I am not trying to say that either method should be or shouldn't be allowed. It just seems very contradictory to consider planting a field full of deer food to be a habitat improvement/conservation measure, while putting out corn, apples, or salt is regarded asunethical andillegal.

They are bothbaiting ... are they not?
