Or you can ban feeding deer. It is illegal to feed deer where I hunt. Supposedly it is about the spread of disease but it might be to stop poachers too. If you get caught hunting over bait in Pennsylvania* or Vermont, you get fine and your license suspended.

*A few urban/suburban areas in PA with limited hunter access allow baiting. Otherwise, the deer would stay inaccessible and the population would not be able to be controlled.
