Hmm....I thought it was illegal to place food or mineral licks out for deer and elk in Colorado. I know ranchers can place out for stock, that is why I asked if there were cattle on the place. Might want to check Colorado law before posting incriminating photo's on the net...yep, looks like it still is. taken from the Colorado fish and game site....It is illegal in Colorado to intentionally place or distribute feed, salt blocks or other attractants for big-game animals. This problem is mainly associated with deer.
