An artificial food source (Bait)is something placed by someone for the benefit of attracting something else.
That's a fair definition, Bob....and we're just hung up on "intent", now. No....the FARMER didn't plant it to attract "somthing else".....
but why is the hunter hunting it?
For the same reasons you hunt a spot, there might be a trail there, tracks. This is getting ridiculous Jeff!!
