Default RE: POACHING IS BIG BUSINESS!! AND GETTING WORSE

I hear you. Had a guy come over to our house to do some work. Hired him on recommendation of friend. He noticed one of my ladder stands on the way into our property and he mentioned that my land was so private that I should get a hold of various baits this fall and put them out and that no one would ever know. That's what he was going to do. Okay, putting out any sort of corn, apples, sugar beets, etc. is illegal in MN. Salt, scents, minerals, etc. are okay. Rule of thumb is nothing with food. Anywhoo, I'm not trying to start a "bait debate" so let's not. I'm just saying that if baiting is illegal, then I view that just as bad as shooting an animal out of season or over your tag limits, etc. But if baiting is legal and you do it, more power to you. Follow the law and everyone wins.
