IS THIS BAITING

If you can't shoot 300 yards, dont bother ever going out west for Muley's and Antelopes. Most shots out there average 200+yards, ask any outfitter.

Exactly, That was a point I made earlier... I'm sure hunters out west consider 300 yard shots part of their hunting... not too many pronghorns let you get too close to them on the open ground, a 100 yard shot would be a close shot on an antelope!

I had a similar question a few yrs back and asked the DEC agent about this and it is really a judgement call on the officers part. He said that food plots fall under the category of "agriculture use", therefore making it legal. When you manipulate that "agriculture use" it then becomes an issue. If you harvest your crop by cutting and farming out the corn no problem. If you cut the corn off the plants, leave them lay & never harvest , it then leads to the interpretation that you are feeding the deer. His botttom line answer was to let the corn stand on the stalks and there it is still being agriculture ! You'll never win a pissing match between you and the officers.

So ny antler, when do you want me to come up....haha

Went to Montana when I was 12 with my dad. He was sighted in at 200 yards as that was the longest range we could find, but he was anticipating 300+ yrd shots......that trip was one of the best memories of my life even though we came home with nothing. Trying to go back out there soon.
