I ran into town after hunting the other night, so I was still in my camos. When I stopped at a gas station I had a fellow strike up a conversation with me about his season so far. He complained that after shooting three does (with an arrow) his area seemed to have gone dry. He said he didn't understand why because he was keeping his feeder full.
At that point I said good night and walked away.
When I told my wife, who also hunts, the conversation I just had, she said I should have explained that baiting deer was illegal in Indiana.
What at would you have done? Explain the laws to a stranger, take down his car tag to turn him in, or just mind your own business.
I can see with all the baiting products so readily available that newbies would get the idea it was allowed. But I also think folks should become familiar with regulations before hunting.
What at do you think?
