Ok. I'm just now getting to this post. This post was started because of my dumb azz. Yes, I put out record rack Fri night at ten o'clock off a greenfield for my son to hunt. Yes, it was 100 yards. Yes, it was questionable on if a deer could have been seen eating. Thought it was a little bit further in bushes and it was late. Yes, I got a ticket which I'm fine with because of the questionable distance. I was told by GW that it had to be an additional 50 yards out of sight from the 100 yard mark and it had to be in a feeder. What pissed me off was the dickhead sob pos wrote my ten year old son a warning! I fully respect the job a warden does don't get me wrong. But he was wrong and he's a major azzhat IMO for writing my son a warning. If he felt that I was guilty I'm fine with that ticket but leave my damn kid out of if!

Just curious, how much is the fine? I have heard they can actually take you to jail.

What were the odds of a gw coming and checking on you? I have never been checked. I might have jinxed myself. Has there been baiting issues before at your club? Not pointing fingers at all. It just seems like he found the needle in the hay stack with you. But he should have left your boy out of it. And just dealt with you. IMO

Somebody probably turned shootnmiss in.

I had a GW write my son a warning for moving a buck off a cutover( to the firebreak) before writing it on his license. Wrote me a ticket cause I did same thing. its all a bunch of BS if you ask me.

this^^^^

Well just how in the hell are you supposed to know that?

It's a private lease. He told me that he saw my truck there that morning while I was hunting and looked in the bed and saw a empty bag of feed, waited til we left, went in found the feed then came back that evening while we was hunting. Moral of story, throw your damn bags away!

U turned your own self in. UGH....

Guys its pretty damn simple. Baiting is still illegal. Supplemental feeding is legal. If your really trying to supplemental feed, then you won't be hunting anywhere near your feeder, thats baiting. Supplemental feed where you don't hunt, like a sancturary. Most are just wanting to know how to legally bait. To me, its all stupid anyway, but most game laws are.

Even if it was legal in your state, people have a misconception it is easy to harvest a deer over corn. Hunting where it is legal, many will go nocturnal. To be legal, I'm required to establish and maintain a feeder 6 months prior to hunting it. There are still rules. You can't just dump a pile a few weeks before season and go. The advantage is exaggerated. Yes you will see some but it isn't what some people think. You might see some does and young bucks. That's the reality. The advantage is during the rut when the does are hungry and the bucks are horny chasing after them just like in a food plot where you can't feed. Still doesn't mean the trophy is going to come in during daylight and the rest of the year you'll sit waiting and sometimes see NOTHING. Even with corn you still get skunked more often than you think. I've seen deer pass on corn to eat acorns. (ACORNS crack for deer ). If the deer eat it at night You have no advantage. It really isn't a big deal. On a positive note, it gives kids a chance to see some deer and not lose interest. If it was legal a parent could have an easier time getting a child his first harvest. Just legalize AL.

Then I take it that you are not hunting near green patches. Or over white oak tress. Or from tree stands. Or using a 4 wheeler. Or with camo. Or with scent killers. Or with binoculars. Or with a compound bow. Or with a gun. Etc. Etc.

Unless you are hunting barefoot in a loin cloth and running them down on foot with a flint tipped spear you obviously aren't much of a hunter.

See I can play this game too and look like just as big a douche.

no doubt you have that douche thing mastered.....

It's all good. I take it as a grain of salt. I've NEVER killed a deer over bait. Only reason I put it out is in hopes of a doe for my kid. A few on here have saw my walls of deer in my house. I have nothing to prove to no one on here.

Look who's talking. LOL!

nice third grade response, oh wait, DID you finish third grade???

Hell yeah. I'm even house broken.

So the Game warden is a DH, SOB, POS, AZZhat, for doing his job? It's not his fault that you broke the law. To the people saying it isn't an advantage to hunt over corn, the deer will go nocturnal . . . etc etc etc. It's just not true. I have hunted where baiting is legal and it most definitely helps and draws deer in. Also the places I have hunted where baiting is legal are areas of high deer density and the landowners spend a lot of money on summer and fall plots and year round feeding. They don't just walk out the night before a hunt a pour corn on the ground.

No! He's he's a asshole for writing a ten year old a warning on a bailbond. You understand that?

YOU put your son in a compromising situation and you should just own it and not call the game warden names for doing his job. Seems like to me he taught your son a valuable lesson. For the record, I think the feeding law is stupid. You oughta be able to put bait out wherever you see fit.
