Unless there is more to the story than what's being told, i feel the warden was out of line on this one. There was "no intent" to hunt over bait.
unfortunately that doesnt matter in missouri. the baiting law saysthat you are inviolation of baiting even if you did not know that the area was baited.
Say you dont hunt and you just like to feed animals and a guy has been hunting the area.it is illegal for you to place to the bait in a manner that causes someone else to be in violation.
The rules inmost states are extremely vague and open to interpetation.
regardless of whether or not it was right or legal the ticket has been paid. I do applaud the guy for taking care of a ticket he didnt have to,but did anyway.
