Cocaine hole
Pic of the hole. The deer is standing in it...up to the jionts of her front leg. Last year I dumped it on the ground, and this year it is that deep already.

RE: Cocaine hole

RE: Cocaine hole
Yes that takes you out of the "fair chase" category and puts you in the "not legal" category if your hunting that spot in Pa.[:@]

RE: Cocaine hole
Sec. 2308. Unlawful devices and methods. (a) General rule. - Except as otherwise provided in this title, it is unlawful for any person to hunt or aid, abet, assist or conspire to hunt any game or wildlife through the use of: (8) Any artificial or natural bait, hay, grain, fruit, nut, salt, chemical, mineral or other food as an enticement for game or wildlife, regardless of kind and quantity, or take advantage of any such area or food or bait prior to 30 days after the removal of such material and its residue. Nothing contained in this subsection shall pertain to normal or accepted farming, habitat management practices, oil and gas drilling, mining, forest management activities or other legitimate commercial or industrial practices. Upon discovery of such baited areas, whether prosecution is contemplated or not, the commission may cause a reasonable area surrounding the enticement to be posted against hunting or taking game or wildlife. The posters shall remain for 30 days after complete removal of the bait. Then is it also illegal to hunt over a single apple tree, oaks, hickorys, hay fields not being farmed, wheat etc? I am assuming that a food plot is considered habitat management practices. |
RE: Cocaine hole

RE: Cocaine hole
Great point. We always had this debate...in WV you can bait, and other states as well. The same person crying bait..bait will sit by a well used trail heading right into an orchard or corn field....never understood that.

RE: Cocaine hole
The word "Again" was for PA bow/flinter...I had addressed it to him in an earlier post. About the coke...always had great results with it.
|
RE: Cocaine hole
hmmm, might have to try it.
|
RE: Cocaine hole
So it's illegal to bait? or to hunt by the bait? If you can bait then you guys jumped the gun on Mighty. :D
|
RE: Cocaine hole
In some states you can bait and in others you can't. It just depends on local laws.

RE: Cocaine hole
so true reacher. And what is the difference b/w that and sitting smack dab in the middle of an orchard I know they visit every evening, or along a well used trail leading into a corn field?
|
RE: Cocaine hole
Sorry Might, didn't mean to makeany false accusations but initially you didn't mention WV. You raise a great point about hunting oaks, hickory and other nut producing trees, not to mention crops and fruit producing trees.:)
|
RE: Cocaine hole
I go through 100 pounds of corn a week in two "baiting" sites. I don't hunt over them though because I have never in my life seen even a decent buck come to bait. In fact, I have seen them go out of their way to avoid the area. I know others have had the exact opposite experience, but for around here, I set out "bait" to keep the does around and then use them as my real bait come the rut.

RE: Cocaine hole
So why is deer cocaine considered bait?
|
RE: Cocaine hole
Il and Wi consider minerals as well as food "bait"
|
RE: Cocaine hole
Even if you can't hunt bait, I see nothing wrong with putting out a little minerals and food out every now and then. Maybe draw a few deer toward your area. Its definetly not taking the fair outta fair chase. These are wild animals, food doesnt change that. theyll spook as easy as the next deer. They wont jump right on the end of your arrow, so to speak. It's just a way to try to stack the odds a little. You can buy natural mineral rocks, are they considered bait also?
|
RE: Cocaine hole
In parts of the state (wi) it's illegal. They think the mixing of saliva at these bait sites may be responsible for spreading CWD. It's illeagal to feed deer at all.
