I live in kansas. Baiting is legal in kansas. Is it practical? No, not by a long shot. Will deer hit it? yes, just like any other food source. There is always several things for them to eat in the area I live. Other places that have big woods that lack the nutrition that deer get in the crop land, well baiting might be a huge help to both the deer and to the hunter. If baiting is legal and you want to try it then have at it. Hunters should have no problem with doing things within the laws.... even if its not for you.
