Baiting here in Wisconsin is legal, but you are only allowed to put 1 - 2 gallon bait pile per 40 acers. I do not bait, but I am here to tell you the 2 gallon limit is not obeyed by very many hunters, nor is the 40 acre rule. Where I hunt in Northeast Wi. there are so many bait piles on the neighbors property that as soon as the last crop of alfalfa was taken off on the property I hunt the deer vanished. There was still all kinds of sign but no deer sightings. The neighbor w/ all the bait did not see many more. You know why, they went nocturnal!!! The normal travel patterns have been changed. These guys are putting 100# of corn out at one time. That's approx. 15 gallons on 4 different locations on 40 acers. The DNR now knows of this also. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to baiting but it does change the way deer act. Sorry for the venting, but it is frustrating to the hunters who abide by the laws.
