Dude! I had no idea they sell squirrel feed! Is it in the same section as bird feed? I usually buy bird feed for the songbirds but never considered buying squirrel feed outright! I'll have to check my local store now.

Yes, it was right next to the bird seed at my local WM. Says on the bag, "Blended for squirrels and other outdoor pets."

It is known as baiting. Just know the laws in your state. Some states prohibit baiting any animal, some say game animals and then there is the private vs's public land and hunting season vs non hunting season.
During my 20 years with the state police we assisted state game wardens enforce the environmental/hunting laws of the state. Once or twice a year, normally during hunting season i worked with state game wardens. Now we weren't after squirrel hunters, but we were after any violators and people that baited and used spot lights at night to take deer or bear. These violators were illegally baiting and or shooting at night, or from a public roadway etc.
I was in aviation so i normally was responsible for aerial surveillance of the area but every so often, normally when the weather was too bad to fly, i rode with the game wardens and several violators were arrested, fined and their trucks and guns were confiscated and not returned. With today's technology, don't be surprised if a a video is made that is presented in court.
Again, none of this was in an effort to prevent sportsman from taking game animals legally, only those who violated environmental and hunting laws, and shooting protected non game animals etc.
Believe me there are a lot of folks that break hunting laws, some pay the price.
So make sure you are aware of any laws that affect your hunting and shooting activities.

Good advise. Many states allow exceptions for pesting if you can demonstrate that they are causing damage. Local laws apply YMMV.

I got Pecan trees that need to be protected... 
That ain't baiting in any state.
That said, I get where you are coming from WRT to poachers. Several years ago I turned off the road to take a break and when started back to the car I found three deer in a pile beside the road. Clearly they were there for someone to come and pick up later. I called the warden as it was well after the end hunting season.
