Its not baiting it would be the same thing as you hunting out of an acorn tree.

RE: What are those Big green Balls??
I was told by an IDNRCPO that anything edible'placed' by a hunter was baiting. So if you're moving a hedge apple, you're placing it andyou're technically baiting.
From stories I've heard, the DNR punishes baiting very harshly. (loss of hunting privleges, confiscation of stands, bows, guns and vehicles)

so if I didn't touch it i could still hunt it.
so If you plant turnips can you pull them out of the ground and hunt them.
What is the difference between a food plot and baiting.
In this case they're both natural?????

RE: What are those Big green Balls??
Deer seem to prefer white oaks ( a group of oaks that tend to have round lobed leaves) but these often only produce acorns bi-annually. Red oaks (pointy leaves) tend to produce more annually. Depends on which area you live in as to what type of oaks are available. There's also beechnuts, chinqapins, chestnuts, persimmons, apples, locust pods and many other mast crops.

JimPic your right there, they do make excellent bows. I work with a guy that makes his own out of Osage and he also kills deer with it.
And around here we call em hedge apples.
