ok i know this is a hot topic here in mississippi but (i dont wont this to get out of hand) how many here hunt over bait. bait as i see it is corn,green field,deer attraint,or any thing to make the deer stop and eat,or smell. and i have noticed that most of the hunting seen on TV the deer is eating something when shot. just wondering what most here do..
Hunt Soybean fields off and on allthrough season.
Hunt cut corn fields.
Hunt Alfalfa or clover when available.
Occassionally use scents in Muson Glow Trap (spam!)
I guess according to the question, I bait.
But when I hunt near White Oaks that are dropping, I don't need tobait, obviously.

I know what you are getting at. You dump somethingon the ground for them to eat, or place it in a feeder,hunt over it or near it, you are baiting.
Food plots to meare more for management and nutrition than "bait". There are areas of the country andCanada that I do not think some of the deer would EVER be harvested if feeding/baiting according to my definition was not allowed. IMO
