An officer told me it is not illegal to feed deer or elk. Check the trail cam photos, most show apples on the ground.

Legal.  Do a search on here, the RCW has been posted several times.  The topic may be locked but should be still on here. :chuckle:

 Yep, legal to bait deer and call it "fair chase" but illegal to use a lumenok, go figure. :chuckle:

Pope and Young does not address this in their "Rules of Fair chase", I guess some of it has to be common sense? However back to the original post, as stated legal, maybe not ethical in some opinions.
