I liked it better when it was free, and you just had to move your corn pile to the left a little, so it was outta sight. It took a really good hunter to figure out how to hide that corn pile a hundred yards from you and be outta sight and still be able to see every deer coming from any direction to get to it!
It still is free if you want to do it that way. The dcnr redefining "area" to 100 yards away and out of sight was what opened the door for almost anyone to bait, and once everyone was baiting, that made it possible to get the corn license passed and make them a lot of money. And making money for the dcnr is the whole point of having wildlife in the state.
Actually it is not. Under the new rules, if youre hunting anywhere on the property remotely near bait, or hunting an area that deer travel through going to a bait site, and youre hunting without a baiting license, you're pretty much going to get that ticket now.
