RE: What are those Big green Balls??
Or an oak tree that produced acorns. :D
just a jab...don't take it personally. ORIGINAL: cowboy4513 Its not baiting it would be the same thing as you hunting out of an acorn tree. |
RE: What are those Big green Balls??
What kind of oak produces the best acorns for feeding of deer.
I know we have alot of oaks but rarely acorns. Is there a specific oak?? |
RE: What are those Big green Balls??
I was told by an IDNRCPO that anything edible'placed' by a hunter was baiting. So if you're moving a hedge apple, you're placing it andyou're technically baiting.
From stories I've heard, the DNR punishes baiting very harshly. (loss of hunting privleges, confiscation of stands, bows, guns and vehicles) |
RE: What are those Big green Balls??
so if I didn't touch it i could still hunt it.
so If you plant turnips can you pull them out of the ground and hunt them. What is the difference between a food plot and baiting. In this case they're both natural????? |
RE: What are those Big green Balls??
If it's already there you should be good.

RE: What are those Big green Balls??
This is verbatum from Illinois 2005-2006 DNR Information
It is unlawful to make available food,salt,mineral blocks or other products for ingestion by wild deer or other wildlife in areas where wild deer are present.EXEPT, Grain or other feed distributed or scattered solely as a result of normal agriculture, Gardening, or soil stabalization practices. [hr] HOW DO YOU INTERPRET THAT????? |
RE: What are those Big green Balls??
Deer seem to prefer white oaks ( a group of oaks that tend to have round lobed leaves) but these often only produce acorns bi-annually. Red oaks (pointy leaves) tend to produce more annually. Depends on which area you live in as to what type of oaks are available. There's also beechnuts, chinqapins, chestnuts, persimmons, apples, locust pods and many other mast crops. |
