Default RE: Baiting vs. Planting Deer Feed - what's The Difference?

ORIGINAL: stretchhunts
What would feeding them be? planting corn/soybeans etc? just wondering JC
Cmon Stretch, I thought for sure you knew this one...assumingthe state allows baiting and feeding, here are the definitions...(this one specific to Michigan I believe)

"Baiting" is the practice of placing piles of foods that deer favor near hunting blinds and stands. Hunters who bait hope to draw-in deer within close shooting range. By baiting deer over a period of time, they expect to improve their chances of getting a closer shot during legal hunting seasons. State law usuallylimits the volume, content, location and times when baits can be legally placed for white-tailed deer.

"Feeding" is different, as the aim is just to watch wildlife by providing supplements to natural foods. State law does not regulate or limit the foods, locations or timing when wildlife feeding can occur.
