RE: is this considered baiting?
from how i understand MY local laws, i believe "BAITING" to be hunting above or within direct sight of the "BAIT"
the way i interpret that is if yoru hunting in your tree stand and there are apples and corn under your stand your "BAITING"
but some states make you take teh "bait out up to 10 days before the season opens. now some peopel dont do that and remove it the day of the season starting. i personally dont think getting a 10,000$ fine cute or funny in any way so i remove my "attractants" out 10 days before the season. now i also hunt above the corner of a corn field which i can not remove so is that technically "baiting" ?
