I believe for those who aren't allowed to bait this still wouldn't get you in trouble. This year while going to a stand my friend was putting me in. He told me to grab extra branches on the way in. One because his stand was loosing it's stealth and two to place a branch in each shooting lane. The first is obvious but the second reason was very interesting. Like I already knew and observed, the deer go for the low hanging easy fruit. Also when Does tend to eat they like to take a piss. It worked like a charm, unfortunately for me that morning no big bucks were in the area. However, the Does came in and a few saw the broken branch with fresh leaves laying there and went right to it and started to eat and one did piss before she left. Next year, I plan on using this tactic even more during the rut.
