i think baited means physically having a timed feeder dumping out feed or pouring out corn for deer along those lines. i dont know if salt blocks go under "baiting" but i know food plots dont.
caleb to be honest with you i have never seen a deer eat my bait. i put it out to bring more deer in the area, and to give them a reason to come to that spot. i dont see anything wrong with it at all. its natural, indians could have ripped off corn and put it in a pile for deer, so i see nothing wrong with it. high fence hunting is a completely different thing IMO and bear baiting is as well
