You can follow this line of reasoning as far as you like. I fertilize honeysuckle which is non-native and hunt it. Also used to fertilize certain white oaks. What about cutting lanes in thick areas to establish a travel corridor? All the same as a kill plot because they are only utilized to harvest deer. There are 2 differences between all of these and a corn pile. #1 and most important, baiting is not legal. #2 all these "improvements" are still there after Feb 1st.

If it becomes legal then I may use it. The deer certainly eat it in February. Right now I choose not to and really don't want to hunt around those that do. Hard to avoid corn piles when you don't know where they are. Judging by stand placement, the best place to hunt is always near the landline.
