Of COURSE, it is baiting!!!! I think you know it is too, or else you wouldn't have made the statement that your "love for the sport is in being out there in the woods with a gun and a call trying to get them to come to me, but sometimes I may need a little help." You are considering putting out food to get the turkeys coming to it, in order to increase your odds of success, so there is not a doubt in the world as to whether it is baiting!!!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T STOOP THIS LOW!!!!! The birds deserve better!!!!!!!!

Feeding turkeys to help them out during winter weather is something totally different, but even then, in most places it is completely unneccessary. Deep, prolonged snow or ice might be the exception, but generally turkeys are fully capable of getting by without our assistance. No need fooling yourself that you are doing them one bit of good.
