Alfalfa

[kodiak06]

I have had pictures of deer on my camera within a few minutes of me putting out alfalfa. Pretty sure they had to have been within eye sight of me and just waited for me to get far enough away before they went in to chow down

Thanks...

Pretty soon where gonna have to plant food plots that are all natural and organic anyway.
Noticed a little tension on the forum these days
We all know middle of winter is not good to start a feeding regiment.
I never baited deer or elk till I got into trail cams about ten years ago. So I'm not to worried. I'll still hunt,of course deer was more plentiful ten plus year ago.

My question wasn't in regards to baiting specifically, I was just curious how quick they found the alfalfa. I was simply comparing the PNW to a couple other states/areas that I've lived in and hunted. The proposal WAC 220-440-260 Prohibition of Feeding Deer, Elk and Moose CR 102 isn't just baiting, it includes minerals and scents/attractants. I could see the urine based scents getting removed since multiple states have done it, but to remove synthetic scents is just dumb from a scientific standpoint. Hopefully everyone's leaving public comments on the WDFW page as well as sending emails.

not an issue this year. Baiting has been banned

Yep, and the funny part to the whole new law is the ass clowns approved a ban with transport methods that could actually spread CWD  lol. If it's only been found in a couple isolated places, you would think the transport of deer would be unit specific and not region specific  smh...
