    Both. It's well intentioned, but definitely shouldn't be be done as the food attracts animals to the shelter.

    I'm doing a 60 mile section hike of the Sheltowee Trace Trail in eastern Kentucky in a couple weeks if it's legal. I've only been there for a couple weekend trips. I really enjoyed both experiences...
