    If it's legal.....I'd already be baiting. Introducing bait at the 11th hour might not be such a great idea.

    You could use corn , carrots , sugar beets and apples .... deer will be attracted to all of it.
    Check your state's rule and regulations on baiting , some states only allow a limit like a five gallon bucket and it has to spread out in a ten foot circle.

    They may not cometo it if you put itout the night before your hunt , if I was to start baiting I would start a week early but once you do you have to replenish your bait pile to keep them coming back.
