I,d say if your carrying a few bags of corn , apples buck grub,deer caine or anything like it .
Your baiting ..Its like putting2 mouse traps in the barn ,1 with cheese and 1 with nothing ..
What trap do you think the mouse would be cought in ?
As far as tilling, plowing, planting, cutting and hard labor and time into food plots goes .
I believe your not targeting just deer , it brings in a lot more wildlife and you are helping out the fawns , does , bucks and the future exsistanceof the deer , turkey, birds etc,
I would say your definatly drawing in more game but not to one exact location .
I,d say its not baiting as far as planting or hunting oak flats but it is if your bringing in a bag of apples , corn etc..
