Another deer "baiting" question.

[beermaker]

The farmer/landowner where I hunt spilled 200-300 pounds of corn at the edge of the field last year. I assume the hatch on his grain cart was not fully closed. Anyway, I could have sat 10 yards in the woods and shot doe after doe for a few days. I chose not to because the corn appeared to be deliberately placed there.

What's the ruling?

Thanks.

Under "Normal agricultural practices" a farmer would have tried to clean up the pile of corn. You used good judgement in not hunting over it. Everything that is illegal is also unethical. However, not everything legal is always ethical.
