Bird Feeders at Deer Stands

[luv2safari]

Why not? Even where baiting is illegal, you could hang it high enough that the deer couldn't reach it. Use suet or something that won't fall to the ground.

I had a go-round with Mr. Ranger Sir game warden years back. I had irrigated part of my small alfalfa field for several days straight and had standing water in spots on Sept 1. My grandson and I were dove hunting on that end of the field, since it has the trees on it. Mr. Ranger Sir roared up on my property, citation pad in hand. He was a jerk with two esses, yelling that we were "baiting" doves with standing water. I asked him "how do you irrigate alfalfa?". He stuttered and looked dumbfounded. I told him he was trespassing, and I was going to call the sheriff and have him trespassed. In all the years since I never saw Mr. Ranger Sir again anywhere in the valley.

I've seen deer eating suet at bird feeders on occasion. We can't bait, even with standing water, but I can have salt blocks out for cattle.
