A couple years ago before bow season I was scouting some public land. It was a couple days before opener and I came across a field that had just been cut. At the edge of the field where they had loaded the truck was a pile of corn that had to be a few hundreds pounds of corn.
I ended up not being able to hunt that season but I have always wondered the legality of hunting over that pile. I'm not a bait hunter by any means but what would the law say in such a circumstance if a hunter decided to sit over that pile? There was plenty of other corn in the field from the combine missing a percentage of kernels from each ear but the deer were certainly attracted to the large pile based on the amount of sign around it.
