It's no different than food plots. Food plots in NY are legal, baiting isn't, really? Why? If I throw down No-plow or any other product, I'm not creating a food plot which I'm going to use for food, I'm baiting the area to feed the deer and hopefully have them around come hunting time. Ted Nugent has the best answers when it comes to this subject. Look up his views to get the best side favoring it. Me, I can go either way. I'd even say No to baiting and No to food plots too. As long as it's across the board. Having some states say Yeah, and some Nay, is for the birds and makes no sense at all. Just my 2 cents. Good luck on your presentation.
