Well the last couple of weeks I have taken my brother who has never hunted hunting lol. Well I set him on a good scrape and rub trail and I went about 150 yds from him on the edge of a pine thicket where deer have been bedding. He sends me a txt saying he is hearing a clacking noise in another section of pines so I went to investigate and hope to may be run some thing his way . Well I got about 50 yrds from where I was sitting and what I found infuriated me . I found what I consider to be bait carrots potatoes and green apples in a pile on a logging road we ended up leaving early didn't need that over our heads and it is on public land what a dummy hope he gets busted

You cannot bait at all on public land from what I understand. With that in mind you should call it in, if he was baiting on public land there should be a charge available. Please someone correct me if I am wrong. If you could bait public land it would be a negative thing based on my limited knowledge of the way bad apples (bad people) treat public land. I hunt mainly private but just curious on the every changing law and even worse the way DNR enforces said unclear laws. You would be amazed at how little some DNR officers know hunting laws but even worse outside of deer. I have had more than one ask me what species duck I shot...after seeing the dead duck.

That is called a "Diversion" Or "Throw Down" ! I heard of a fellow a few years ago who hunted around Lafayette, Georgia who would set up a bait location-call it in-well ---you get the rest !

Found bait (corn) on Shefield WMA

Its really sad people cant hunt deer without dumping corn on public (wma's). This is a archery only area with several DNR planted food plots already. Dec 1st, just before the break at Sheffield I stumbled across this.
