Default How many people hunt without baiting?

How many people hunt without putting down any food attractants? Corn seems to be the most popular, along with apples, peanut butter, salt, sweet feed etc. Just kinda curious?

only thing i bait is my hook when i go fishin for catfish

find what the deer are eating in the wild and i really dont see the need to bait...to each his own...if you wanna bait and its legal go right ahead...just seems to be making more work for yourself carrying in 100lbs of corn...

Well in TN its legal to hunt over salt and mineral but not anything visible. I believe thats right. Some of my stand locations are hung over mineral or salt licks but I dont hunt them all the time. So I dont consider myself "technically" hunting over bait. Hunting is still hard with or without it.

baiting is allowed in 99.9% of New Jersey. The area I hunt is Federal Lands, and the Feds DO NOT ALLOW BAITING, so I don't

I don't hunt over bait only because I found without it I was seeing deer earlier and more of them. Lots of acorns. I do have a 20 acre food plot however. I don't hunt over it but it isn't "natural"
