Default Do You Bait

I do, before some of you say it isnt hunting let me tell you that in the
3 years ofmy bowhunting career I have shot 19 deer, 3 were bucks,of these 19 deer only 4 were shot over corn and apples. I scout alot watch the fields at night and only put the bait out when trying to re pattern the
deer. I only put 2 gal out at a time that way the deer will come out early
to get the bait. I only bait for evening hunts only, after awhile you might
catch a buck coming out to get the bait before the does get it. I have to bait every afternoon to keep the deer interested or they move else where.
Have I shot any of the bucks over bait

Ya i do. I'm in west texas where all the hunters have feeders so if you want a dream of getting a buck you have to use a feeder.

sure do, I don't always hunt over the bait, once it becomes popular amongst the locals I'll often hunt to or from patterns. Sometime I just need to see deer, or other critters when I sit.. It's also good for the youngsters to see nature 7&10respectively..

It's legal here in TX as patriot said. I did 3 years ago for a couple weeks at the first of the season, but haven't since.

Illegal in Indiana , I don't view it as being any different than food plotting though .

Nope, I'm from PA too. Even if it were legal, I doubt I would, it's just not my cup of tea.
