That is the stupidest law on the books. Ok, you put down some minerals in the spring and early summer for both the buck (antler growth) and for the doe as a food supplement for a healthier birth and better milk production. In effect building up the health of the deer in your hunting area. So what is the distance you have to stay away from it so it is not considered baiting? You know there is going to be residual minerals in the soil. I mean, what is the difference between putting out buck urine to attract a buck during pre rut or estrus urine during the rut vs putting out a mineral supplement? They are all considered attractants aren't they? The only difference is that the minerals benefit the deer. Oh yeah that must be it. God knows, the PGC doesn't want healthy deer, only dead deer.
