I dont believe it is illegal to set feed out for deer.

Section 9-11-244 prohibits the baiting, feeding and simultaneous hunting of protected
game animals and birds to the extent that the feed material constitutes a lure, attraction or
enticement to, on or over the area being hunted.
Regulation 220-2-.11(7), further establishes a ten (10) day waiting period after
feed has been removed before the area may be hunted.



Thats the law, so if they follow that its not illegal.
