Not a problem with you, or what you did, but a problem with the whole notion in general.
Please don't be offended, I just wanted to ask this publicly. I never have before.
In Deersylvania where I live, it is illegal to bait animals during hunting season. If you were to dump a pile of corn on the ground, then sit and wait for teh deer to come eat it and shoot them, you would get in big trouble. But for some reason it is ok to bait the deer if you call it a food plot. Instead of dumping the corn kernels on the ground, you carefully place them 1.5" under the ground, with some fertilizer. They produce ears of corn which are suspended neatly in air and are dry and ready about the same exact time as hunting season starts.
So, it's not baiting?
Furthermore, with the abundance of wildlife we have now, the deer are not an endangered species, the turkey are so thick that the game commission introduced coyotes to the area to let "mother nature" take care of the problem, which made for an abundance of coyotes. The raccoons got to be so bad that people became unnecessarily at risk, so teh game commission hired a company to fly an airplane(a big one) around and drop out rabies vaccine packets that are supposed to attract the racccoons, so they will eat them. Now, with an overburden of wildlife, people in the suburbs are having problems with their shrubs in their back yards, because the deer are eating them and ruining them. Special permission was given to the community to have specially trained snipers come in and hunt the deer in the backyards of closely packed houses. To protect ornamental shrubs...
At the same time, the game comission revised the rules for deer hunting, to prevent anyone from shooting an antlered deer with less than 4 points on a side of a rack. This is to pretoect teh young bucks, so that they become bigger bucks and make for better sport hunting. Farm and agricultural "red tag" programs have been made more strict, so that farmers must go through a lot to get any permission to protect their livelihood and farms. Corn gets destroyed, farmer ownes bank, can't pay because of lack of crops, bank takes farm in foreclosure... Farmer out of job. Deer and hunters alike are happy.
Do I make any valid points, or am I completely crazy? I am not bothered by what you do, or what happens on the land, but rather, I am bothered by the contradictions and hypocracy that exist.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
