so in NY - its never OK to feed deer corn - or anything else that isn't a planted food ( or felled trees) . No feeders are legal for deer in or out of season ever. That's all I was trying to say. You could plant feed corn I guess, that's not what I meant though. We can plant corn for deer - and leave it standing - the consensus it that brush hogging it down is illegal to hunt over however.
Salt licks, mineral pits, etc - nope not in NY - not in or out of season never ok.
Whats crazy is its not illegal to sell corn for feeding, or salt blocks or minerals - etc. - just know if you use it, you could get ticketed or worse - in NY.
