This is very true. An acquaintance of mine got into this very situation with a CO this past year. The CO explained to him that even though the area where the mineral block was positioned, was several hundred yards away and completely out of sight from the stand, deer might pass within viewing distance of the stand on their way to the mineral block.
That's ridiculous. It's legal to bait in Kentucky, maybe the deer on our farm are headed that way for some corn, I mean it's only a few hundred miles. Guess I shouldn't hunt until Kentucky changes its laws.
