Minnesotans Cannot Bait Deer
When Minnesota's rifle season opens this year for whitetail deer, some hunters heading to the woods will illegally place corn and other bait near their stands in hopes of attracting whitetails.
But some will discover the bait also attracts conservation officers. Officers all over the state are investigating baiting reports and plan surprise visits to many deer camps this weekend.
And this year, those caught baiting deer not only will face fines and restitution that could approach $1,000, but they also could lose their guns and hunting privileges. Because despite attempts to curb baiting over the years and heavy publicity about those efforts it persists. So the Department of Natural Resources is cracking down.
