call the game commision to find out if it' s legal. if not you know what should be done!!! i can' t see how it can be, unless there' s a permit that can be had. but have not heard of any such permit. you can not bait deer in pa within 30 days of hunting the area. once your inside of 30 days of opening day you can' t bait! up to 30 days they say it' s ok. they reason that by time 30 days are up the bait food should be gone.
