It shouldn't be our fault. It wouldn't be illegal if deer were heading to a farmers fields, someone's apple orchard, etc. - and before someone pipes in yes I understand agriculture is not considered a feeder. If the feeder is on someone else's property how the hell could we be held accountable? If we pattern deer travel regardless of where they are heading and for what reason we should be able to harvest those animals without consequences as long as we own the land or have permission to hunt it. And if I was hunting a piece of property which had deer traveling thru it to get to an adjacent owners feeder I would sure as hell hunt it. Total #*&! if it "could" be held against someone. These laws and interpretation of these laws really irks the crap out of me.

So how would this be dealt with: you have deer traveling thru your property with no feeders on adjacent property. Now the neighbor puts up a feeder. You can't hunt the land you had permission on any more? So landowners who don't want people hunting around them could put up feeders to stop hunters from hunting adjacent properties? If an ENCON officer interpreted the law that way non hunting land owners could theoretically affect the land we have permission to hunt.

This friggin state sucks along with the #*&! laws.

Last night I purchased six boxes of ammunition - shotgun shells at Cabelas. Cashier asks for my pistol permit. Its the first ammunition purchase I've made since the laws were changed. I looked at her and said I realize you have nothing to do with this but I need a pistol permit to purchase shotgun shells which won't fit into any pistols. And yes I guess if I had an ammunition permit I wouldn't need a pistol permit. We're going to need permits to piss and #*&! in this state before you know it.

Vote out anyone who had anything to do with these gun laws.
