[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5707910, member: 1409"] Believe you are correct about this, but . . . . . I would not prohibit hunters/managers from doing it, if they so desire. We have too many laws, either not based in science, or based in pseudo-science, or more often based on nothing but the person in charge wanting to be in control of other people, and most often using fear of the unknown as the rationale. Currently, in the CWD zone, where only legal hunters are prohibited from placing salt licks, not only do homeowners do whatever they desire in their backyards, but cattle farmers dot the landscape with salt licks. Since it's either not illegal for them, or not an enforced law, I see no basis strong enough to warrant this being imposed on legal hunters. Worse, this is in an environment of increasing illegal poaching, under which TWRA has never before been so unable to enforce the poaching laws. As some others have stated on other threads, CWD is to some game-agency leaders what Covid was to some government leaders --- a mechanism to force fear-based controls over other people. But back to the salt, I see deer regularly visiting salt licks that were made decades ago, with no salt added in years. Old salt licks dot the landscape. Between this, cattle farmers & homeowners maintaining salt licks, what difference does it make that legal hunters can't? Never mind the illegal hunters & poachers are running rampant with relative impunity (and still placing new salt licks). Kinda like the gun laws are mainly just harming law-abiding people? [/QUOTE]
