It is kind of stupid to have a statewide ban on feeding deer in IL, when our neighbor to the north has alot of CWD cases but they allowed baiting still. I can see them drawing a line across the state, and saying no feeding north of this line. I believe in being careful, but I think that they jumped the gun, and there should be exceptions to the rule.
Where I work, there is no hunting, but the people used to love to come feed the deer every night. It was so popular that a nearby refinery allowed a group to create a deer park for people to come there to feed and watch the deer. They put out 4 feeders, but had to remove them when the law was created. These are fenced in deer. I am sure that there are ways to get in and out of the fences, but not many.
