Up to the person,If it is legal in your state OK ,if it is Ok with you.I lived in South Texas and hunted there. It is almost impossible to walk thru that brush and not get stuck with hundreds of needles and cactus.Not to mention the snakes. Dave I feed the deer in my yard after the season closes to keep them from stripping my lawn and starving in a bad winter..Your right they come and go under darkness most the time
