GTO, you do know that if you put salt and or minerals on a tree stump or on the ground there is a very good chance it will still be there come hunting season unless you dig all the dirt up where you put the salt and or minerals and haul it away and get rid of the tree stump 10 days before the season. If a sample is taken from the ground or the tree stump and sent to a lab for testing there is a very good chance they will still show bait. In my state, on a suspect site samples are taken and tested and if they test positive, prosecutions are made.
