RE: Bait???
They decided we can't feed the deer here...
Per VADGIF-
A new regulation makes it illegal to place or distribute food, salt or minerals to feed or attract deer from September 1 through January 6, statewide. This prohibition does not include the planting of agronomic crops or wildlife food plots.
Why? I don't know... We've got a ton of deer in Southwestern VA. I just hit a buck with my car last Monday!
