so bringing in a very nutritous source like Clover,alfalfa (that`s not natualy in your area) that deer are going to not go to thier normal feeding areas to go to the plots is not baiting? I say bait if you want but saying one isn`t baiting b/c one is larger/better nutriants/costs more$/takes more time/more animals feed off it is crap. Both bring deer in so we can shoot them.
There in lies the fault in your argument...you falsely assume that both are designed to...."bring deer in so we can shoot them."
As you well know most hunters create "bait" piles with thesole intention of hunter over top ofthem....
Noteveryone that plants 10x10 foot plots in the woods is doing so, so that they can siton top ofthem and shoot deer in them.The reality is, that very few people do that. The example you are describing is the exception, not the rule.
You must have missed the part where I said what I think of the specific situation you are describing...wherea tower Blind is built over top of the site for the specific purpose of shooting deer in the food plot......

Yes...this is taking a food plot as close to baiting as it gets.
In the end, this situation you are describingstill hasvery little in common with the original postthat startedthis thread,(not that this wasn't a worthwhile debate).
