nope....not legal in IL....

from the hunting regs....

"Hunting Deer Over Salt or Bait
It is unlawful to take deer by using salt or other kind of bait. NOTE: An area is considered as baited during the presence of and for 10 consecutive days following the removal of bait. It is unlawful to feed deer at any time, even when not hunting ."

and then also

"Feeding Wildlife
It is unlawful to make available food, salt, mineral blocks or other products for ingestion by wild deer or other wildlife in areas where
wild deer are present."

*edit* there is an exception for food plots and agricultural products btw..*


if it was just a mater of not hunting over it that'd be fine.....but We cant even have it at all.


I did a little research and saw red clover is high in calcium and protien....so I may try some of that in spring.

any other suggestions for stuff for the food plot are welcome!
