For the purpose of this regulation, “not within the line of sight” means being hidden from view by natural vegetation or naturally occurring terrain features. This regulation shall not apply on public lands.

If words have meaning, which apparently they DON'T, it should be a rebuttable presumption that ANY BAIT or FEED (notice the word "bait") located beyond 100 yards from the hunter and not within the line of sight is NOT a lure, attraction, or enticement to, on or over the AREA where the HUNTER is attempting to kill or take the deer...

So, you can bait, but you can't hunt in the area. You are not in the area if it is 100+ yards away and you can't see it.


The problem comes in when some Dudly Doright Greenjeans doesn't like the Reg and decides to enforce it the way he wants it to read instead of what it actually says. Either enforce the regulation the way it is written, make baiting legal, or make all supplemental feeding/baiting of deer illegal.




Dudly Doright Greenjean's boss, Chuck Sykes has stated in public, he DOES NOT have an officer ( including Dudly), that can read a deer's mind and the law is as written, 100 yards and out of sight .
