I dont bait since I hunt public land and cant afford fines and loss of hunting privilages
I was told by a friend its illegal to hunt over swt pot's but just dont understand why.

I've wondered this as well and never got a clear answer.

Glad I didn't know this earlier in the week when I put out a truck load of them.

I think, buy do not know, that it is because of possible parasite spread issues.

That's what I was told, but idk how true it is. I just play it safe and don't use them.

Deadly fungus when they rot on the ground. I few pieces of rebar 12" off the ground, cut in half, keep em safe if you just want to treat them to a goodie.

I've never heard of the rebar thing. But it is pretty badass.

The bad sweet taters on the ground give them a pulmonary diorder that causes the lungs to fill up with liquid, and they just fall over at some point.
Pretty bad way for a whitetail to die.

So I guess the bags of sweet potatoes horse feed they have been putting out at our camp are legal ?

Sweet potato weevil
ETA... Moving potatoes from weevil infested areas to non weevil areas is a no no.
