Just hears a story about a deputy warden giving a land owner a hard time about hunting over food plots. I do believe he said it is illegal to hunt over one. Is this true? I don't believe it is but I could be wrong. This isn't the first time hes told false information to people he did to me the other year and others have told me he has in the past. It's getting old he should be told about it if he is.

It's perfectly legal to hunt over a food plot.

Well then what should be done about this deputy who keeps lying about game laws? Call the Law Enforcement Supervisor at the Regional Office, guessing thats Reading for you and report it and ask for an explanation. DO NOT allow him to get away with this crap. He's making the law up as he goes. Question authority!  BTW, first time I made a food plot I got the same BS from the manager of Middle Creek at the time. |

The obvious thing, considering your statement is as simple as indicated, is that he is misrepresenting the law and should be reprimanded if not removed from his deputy status.
What's he gonna say about cornfields, alfalfa fields and other preferred food sources?
I'm saying that in consideration that a "food plot" is not food placed in a lot but rather a growing, rooted entity/plant.
I don't have food plots of non-natural occurring plants but I do have several areas that are heavy with clover and spotted with apple trees.

I talked to a guy in spring turkey who happens to be this guys neighbor who told me that this deputy told him a bs law as well. He told me a few years ago when I hit a 6 point buck with the bow that ran onto some property I didn't have permission that he thought I hunted too close to the private land and if it happened again he would arrest me. Where in PA is there a place that you don't have a chance of having one run onto property you don't have permission to be on?

There is no such thing in the law as "to close" to another's property. As long as you are on allowable property you are legal. Now, common courtesy and good judgment should be part of stand placement.

Not surprising.I've encountered LE officers on multiple occassions that didn't have a clue about the law.
