We have planted purple-top turnips for deer the last couple of years as a food source that they just love. Usually just photograph the herd from a ground blind. They just don't go after the turnips until after they have been under frost for a number of days, so they are usually not eaten until after gun season so we have never hunted over the plots.
Question: Is it legal to hunt over the plots if we get a cold snap early in the season and wish to do so? These are not a garden or a farm field. We have just planted them for the use of the deer and for our personal viewing.

A food plot is considered a normal agricultural practice in which the crop is planted for the benefit of wildlife but not harvested. As long as it has not been manipulated in any way that would differ from a normal agricultural practice, I think you would be fine to hunt over it.
