In Illinois, baiting is unlawful to help stop the spread of disease such as CWD.
Bingo!!! Mountain hunter and Hazcon7 are the only ones to get it; baiting concentrates deer to a localized, tight, specific area. The deer are deficating and foraging invery tight area and spreading germs, bacterias, viruses, and diseases amongst each other much more than free ranging or foodplot feeding deer do. It's all about disease; not giving a hunter too much ofan edge.
Then why is it legal to bait in Missouri but you can't huntthe area until 10 days after the bait is gone. This sounds nothing like disease control tactics to me. I don't put out bait or want to hunt over bait, just thought I would stir the pot a little.
