[sunnylab]

acorn rage is a form of baiting...

pretty simple i think.

I have used acorn rage before also and the deer never touched it. I think it has alot to do what the location is and the type of available natural food. Got a buddy that puts out hundreds of punds of taters 20 miles from my land and the deer seem to be addicted to them. They will not touch a tater at my place. Weird how deer want eat some free grub

CONGRDULATIONS!!! you win the smart @$$ award.... all i was asking was how come they can sale the weekend success here in the state of Mississippi if it promotes hunting over bait

Not illegal to sell, just illegal to put out.

If it's not pellets in a covered feeder this time of year, it's illegal to put out.

Here are the regs: http://home.mdwfp.com/PDF/Wildlife/Noti ... eeding.pdf

so is it illegal to put out minerals such as salt and all

[Wingman]

I take it you haven't read the link. I was speaking of "food" products.

Ok i didnt see all the way down to the mineral stations my bad i was just looking at the corn and stuff

for the legal beagles:

Plant Cannibis for the deer. Jus sayin'. They love it. But if the blackbirds get in it, Im'a gonna have to cut it down and burn it> hahaha

[master guide]

mix it with your corn or deer pellets in a spin type feeder. i dont know if this legal or not, if you are following the guidelines on deer feeders it should be. maybe wingman can shed some light on this.

Well...I hate to sound like a broken record here, but I think it is safe to say there are a bunch of opinions out there from folks who haven't read the regulations.

Before the new legislation, it was legal to put it out, but illegal to hunt over it. Now, it is still illegal to hunt over bait, and it is illegal to put out anything that isn't "approved" by the legislation.

I absolutely love how the MDWFP put this thing together (and I mean that!). They kept it illegal to bait, and they put pretty stringent rules in place for "supplemental feeding" in the process.

Yep. Pretty much, the pro-bait crowd gained ground in the fact that they got a defined distance they can be from bait and be legal, but in turn, got dealt the card of only being able to put out a particular type of bait and in a particular fashion.
