[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 147737, member: 1305"] They did just that for many many years. They had huge feeding stations that would draw deer in for many miles in bad winters. They had a crew that drove around in an old ski resort snow groomer looking contraption with a hopper and an auger coming up top. They would reload ten foot tall gravity boxes with corn and oats and place out new hay bales every week in places such as Dawson the bottom south of Bismarck and I think they did it at Lone Tree as well. Then in the early 2000's they suddenly stopped and immediately started harping about how baiting was bad and would cause disease spread even though they were doing on such a large scale that they would have a couple thousand deer in a few square mile area. Which was funny since the only deer that died from their baiting where the usual suspects the fawns and really old dear that don't do well with corn toxicity especially if they hit it hard after eating brows for an extended time. Now in Colorado their dnr would already be working with the national gaurd to start dropping bales via helicopters into remote yarding areas to do the dual purpose of keeping the animals alive as well as away from farmers hay crops.
