I was just today reading the May issue of Pa Game News. Ironically, there is an article in it about illegal baiting called "The Advantage". I am not saying HANKFAN has done anything illegal at all, so let's not even go there.[8D] However, in this article, it mentioned that a member of one of the nearby hunting camps noticed what he believed to be a bait set-up and trail cam near a stand site on a neighboring camp property. Long story short, this was brought to the attention of the local WCO (Wildlife Conservation Officer) who did some "snooping" on the property in question.
A couple of bait sites were located, and the trail cams (2) siezed. On these cams there were pics of deer, bear, and turkey eating the feed during bear and gun deer season. These guys were busted, and this only started out as hear-say. At least here in Pa, all they need is reasonable suspicion! These guys (WCO) don't need warrents either.
They have more power than a cop!
