They can't say much about it here, I had oat crops from '08, '09, '10, corn before that, deer feed on all the ag crops, especially oat grass regrowth after harvest, and as I have seen first hand, they fatten up nice from that grass, it helps immensely with their instinctive preparation for the winter months, after the harsh winter of '10-'11, I did not find any carcasses, after a tough winter in '02, there were several carcasses nearby and the results of that years hunt totally reflected the kind of winter we had. In those 3 years we had oats, there was close to 60 acres total of it connected to here, and there is no doubt the grasses are of high benefit to the deer, DEC can pound salt if I plant forage for them, or just because, we legally take what we get tags for and the rest of the herd that lingers or those that pass by, all benefit. Deer are a pain for other reasons, but its always been part of putting food on the table and good lean meat, finished on good forage, when DEC pays the taxes and deals with trespassers, then they can dictate what we do on our land, in the interim, and the local officers know, everyone does this regardless. Yes, Dicks won't sell whitetail institute or similar products, but agway does, and has for years, don't see anyone knocking their door down because of it.
Now if you want to bait them, with things that are not naturally found in their habitat, pile of corn, auto feeders, pile of apples, salt licks, ok I don't agree with it, don't practice it, but would not try and tell someone else not to.
We have apples all over the place here, we have 30 acres of corn adjacent, which they browse late season, also all kinds of cover and other browse, forage and so on, all this planting of forage does is improve their habitat, improve their health and provides high protein, only thing we are guilty of is providing food for hungry mouths, common sense don't you think ? LOL !
