RE: mineral licks gettin torn up!! (recipe)
You NYer's best be quiet when using them. Despite the fact they sell commerical ones at Gander, BP, etc...they are still illegal.
It really wasn't a big deal pre-CWD, but ECO's are tough on this now. I had a direct chat with a Regional Head, and a central biologist this summer on salt/mineral licks. You know the saying "Sh!t flows downhill"....let's just say the ECO's have their directives. Don't get busted, you will get a ticket.
DEC site:
It is unlawful to:
[ul][*]Make, set or use a salt lick on land inhabited by deer or bear[/ul]
