I dont use bait but I will pay the fee to cover myself in case someone else (such as a neighboring land owner) puts out some corn. I have a field in the northeast corner of my place that I heard a spin feeder throw corn at 3:00 and again at 3:30 during the season. I do not know where it is (it is was more than 100 yards away) but I could hear it plain as day. I did not hunt that stand after that for fear the GW would write me up. It is unfortunate that a neighbors bait could result in my getting a ticket.

With the fee being paid, I will view it like having uninsured motorist on my auto policy.
