RE: NY Baiting legal, or illegal?
O.K. now,what about this.A local friend of mine feeds his cows corn or silage in outdoor troughs,Always had a bunch of turkeys show up after cows get done feeding.Didn't mind them,has a few nice photos of them.Just after the season started had a doe and a couple fawns showing up.Then a few more deer showed up.Well last weekend siad he feed the cows and the deer showed up.There was a couple bucks in the group.My friend finally had enough,and went out to scare them off and shot one of the bucks.Well guess what just after he shot the local encon officer showed up,claimed he was hunting over bait and took his deer and gun away.Goes to court tonight at 7:00 to answer to charges.Now here is my question? When was it a bait pile and when was it feed for his cows.The troughs have been there for at least 10 years and this is the 1st time deer have been a problem.
