Salt lick on a wma?

[timberjack86]

In my recent scouting I've found a super funnel area with rubs and scrapes and what appears to be an old well used salt lick. As long as I'm not replenishing the the lick it should be legal to hunt over I'm guessing.? I know you cannot put salt out anymore on a wma but what about existing licks? It's not like it's going to pull a buck into my area during a hunt.

As long as i didnt see any evidence of someone refreshing it, id hunt it! Cant beat a good funnel on public

Hunt it as you know salt will stay in the dirt for a long time. But as long as there's not a fresh pile of it your good.

Are you certain it's not a natural lick?

Not 100 percent, it's in a pretty accessible area in South Cherokee. But I can't prove otherwise. It would probably be up to the warden I'm guessing.

If there's no visible salt then you'll be fine.

Hey nobody on here is gonna say anything about you licking that block. Just don't get caught licking it , they may take you to the funny farm.

Text me a pin I'll check it out for legality

i found one on a wma, it's obviously an old home place. i figure this was probably the smokehouse where they cured meat. very small stone foundation corners. deer and hogs have eat the dirt down about two feet, lots of tracks...

I worked for the forest service in the late 70's on the Ocoee district and we put out salt through out the WMA, not sure if they still do it or not.

Go hunt

I would agree! Unless your hunting a 200"+ and your name is Joe Franz

I can assure you they don't. They don't do anything anymore. At least the Cherokee national forest. The only things they do is take of major "touristy" stuff (the Bald River bridge being an example) and burn. Other than that, they don't do crap.
