I am hoping you are not planning on hunting over the apples .... if you are PLEASE read your Illinois Hunting Digest.
. We cut up some apples and spread them out in front of the stand.
A word of warning....... It is illegal to feed wild deer in the state of Illinois.... and it is illegal to hunt over bait in the state of Illinois.... a stand is considered baited when there is bait present and for 10 days after the removal of the bait..... PLEASE refer to your hunting digest for exact wording .... you dont want a ticket and fines and the possible loss of your hunting liscience if you are caught.
