It isn' t legal here in VA. So I don' t do it. Would I? hmm I don' t think I would want the WMA' s filled with piles of corn just cause it would make it even harder to hunt that area. private land. Hell It' s your land do what you want. The CWD issue is another story. I don' t know if anyone really knows that it spreads that way, but if that is where the research is pointing then they should stop the baiting and feeding altogether.
But let me toss a few other things out.
What' s the difference between hunting over bait and using scents?
does the doe urine spread CWD??
What about salt licks and mineral licks? I' ve created a mineral lick mostly to bring the deer in for pictures. Is that baiting?? According to the VA laws it ceases to be paiting 30 days after the salt has disolved. but where does the salt go? Lots of questions. some of the answers are kind of grey.
