I've heard that using ducks or geese for baiting cage traps for cats was illegal, wasn't sure how this would compare...smoke a pack I say!No wanton waste. It's perfectly legal. Same as hunting over a deer gut pile.
Interestingly enough the wanton waste law was brought out by people catching carp and gar below dams, then throwing them on the bank thinking they are "helping" to get rid of them. The stench was overpowering at times.
How it can be used by a GW for game is unknown to me.
