[wdswtr]

Oh boy here we go again

[wdswtr]

Just for the record, it is illegal no matter what time of the year it is. Just ask my neighbor pending a court hearing and a fine if they are legal or not!

Nice buck. Just an FYI, more than one guy got tickets from DEC last year for posting pics of bait piles on the internet. It was all spelled out on a couple of the lists of tickets handed out.

[MuzzyLoader]

STOP posting photos... there are NO big bucks in Steuben County (everybody knows that!).

Especially over bait sights!

[dave6x6]

Boy i'd make a terrible DEC officer. I totally missed that. Your lame NYFUR

[Paula]

why did you post this !!! DUUUUHHHH

[hunter]

I have to say I have had more than one salesman in a store tell me the bait, rocks or Cmere Deer is just to pattern deer to a certain area but not for shooting over. When I tell them that is BS and it's illegal to bait anytime and they are giving their customers bad advice, they reply but it's not illegal to sell it. I wish it was and more of these a**holes got the tickets as well.

I am not saying a word......don't wan tto be called mean again...lol

I always love the I won't use it during deer season. RIGHT no deer are coming in and you have used it all year and you are going to stop. UH HUH.

[erussell]

So thats how you get bucks on cam during the summer I have had my cam out since January and havent seen one horn on it. Getting a big bag of corn today!!! Just kidding by the way!

If you use a hook is the bait still illegal??? Good enough for fish, what makes deer so special?

[landtracdeerhunter]

Better get youself a big fish pole, and anchor, lol.

You better clean that ground up real good before hunting season.The were a lot of people that got fines for that around here last year.Even though you cannot see any on the ground the deer will keep coming back to the same spots looking for more feed.

It's just as illegal now as it is hunting season. Only difference is that he'll get more tickets then as compared to now.

It's unsportsmanlike. Takes all of the skill out of the hunt. Takes unfair advantage. Any boob can shoot deer over bait there is no accomplishment associated with it.

you say that but yet it is acceptable in other states. are we only state that it is illegal?

I am well aware that it's ilegal to bait in season as well as out of season. I do believe that it gives hunters an unfair advantage during the season, however, my question is how is it that the DEC officers are aware of the baiting you spoke of. Do they walk people's property or do they go based on tips of neighbors that trespass and walk people's property without permission?
