I found where a mineral/salt block has been on a WMA.

I would let the warden know and ask him. Can’t plead ignorance now

Thanks for outing me.

I really want to hunt the area. Down hill drag bringing the deer back to the truck. Two bedding areas. Two food plots within 600 yards.
How far away from the lick should I hunt to avoid potential problems?

I have searched the Louisiana Hunting Regulations booklet, and can not find any information on how far you must be away from any baited spot while Deer hunting. For Turkey, hunting it says you must be 200 yards from any bait.

In 2014, they added a definition of baiting as any substance used to attract game via ingestion.

Read the WMA rules.

I’d be more worried about a confrontation with whoever set the salt lick than with greenjeans

You’re missing a real good opportunity to plead ignorance

I did. What I was saying is I’d hunt the area without a care of the location of the salt block if no one was around. Except there will be someone around most likely, so now you don’t want to consider where the best spot to hunt deer is but the best spot to hunt with someone else around.

Also, while I know that you said you didn’t put the block there if you are hunting it then the warden isn’t going to care as you can’t prove you didn’t put it there. I’m not saying don’t do it, I’m just saying it really doesn’t matter who put it there if you Hunt close by.

I don’t think salt blocks really do anything during hunting season. Deer aren’t going to go to them during normal hunting periods with any sort of routine.

call the regional office or swing by and document who you talked to get the facts

I would swing by in person
