I don't have a problem with shooting dogs to protect livestock or people if and when it's legit. I do have a problem with pathetic ass holes who shoot every loose dog they see under the guise and assumption of protecting deer/game because it's generally bullshyt from those who just want to kill something. Feeding deer is illegal here so yeah, I'd have a problem with someone doing that too. You feeding deer is your business if it's legal in your locale. I can hunt all over and am rather good at it so would have no need to feed/bait in an effort to keep them on any particular piece of ground even if it were legal.
Is feeding deer unlawful if done by growing a crop of peas or wheat for them? I am talking about a crop where the deer are eating stuff growing from the ground, not corn thrown out for them to pick up?
That's an interesting question and would likely need a lawyer to determine the answer in some states.
Can't bait doves, but apparently can plant sunflowers and such and they can feed on the leftovers from a normal ag operation?
Well, if one plants peas or wheat, and then goes out and harvests some for their family's use, is one now baiting deer or operating a pea farm?
