RE: Does your state allow???
In WI, the lower half of the state you can't bait because of CDW but the upper half you can but there is restrictions on how much you can put out.
You can only have 2 gallons out per 40 acres. You are allowed multiple baiting sites but it cannot total over 2 gallons for the 40 acres.
I only bait during late season when there is snow.

In NJ you can. I hear that that's going to change soon though for fears of CWD. I've baited, and I feel that it's more of a hinderance than an advantage. It seemed to just sit during the day and get hammered at night. I stopped baiting altogether.

You can bait in VA it just has to be up 30 days before season opens and you can't hunt over any active sites such as mineral licks.
