I placed a trail camera in the woods at the back of our property. Having recently purchased this land, I wanted to see what the deer herd in this area (Elberfeld) has to offer. I dumped 40 lb of shelled corn to see what would come in.
We call this deer "county dump" because of the trash on his rack.
The next picture was the alarming one:
It seems I have a nosy neighbor (Gladys Cravits from Bewitched comes to mind). My neighbor turned me in to the DNR for baiting deer. I had no knowledge of this till I pulled the memory card and found a CO in the picture. I called the officer and he informed me that there was no infraction as I have no tree stand in the area and have not been hunting over the bait pile. I assured the CO that I had no intention of hunting the baited area, and was merely trying to get some camera pictures. It seems I need to plant a lot of trees between me and my busybody neighbor.
