For all the guys against it....I don't think the law will state that it is mandatory for you to feed. It's optional just like dog hunting. If you don't like it...don't do it.


It's not illegal to feed it by the tons now.


Very difficult on smaller tracts of land without limiting yourself to just a couple of stand location. Oh and I fed 3 or 4 tons last year...it just made it difficult with 100 yd rule


Lease more land. If you have money to feed wild animals then you surely have money to lease more land.

Is that an ever so subtle sales pitch there Rebelman wink


Sales pitch or not, he has a point. It doesn't matter how many dump trucks of corn you dump on your property, you've not going to "hold" many deer on a couple of hundred or so acres. They roam...it's what they do. There may be special circumstances which help keep them on a particular property, such as terrain features, river, or major highway, but overall, a couple of hundred acres isn't much to a deer.
