Are there any other states that allow for baiting of turkeys? Not that I'm headed there.....just curious.

I've heard some doozie stories!

I think you can here in Michigan... You just have to make it hard for the deer to get to the bait...

Wouldn't it be better to use real food if you are baiting something?

BC:

Yes. Gobblers come to bait/feed sites all the time. Many peope here HATE them, because they (turkeys) eat so much food people put out for deer.

I baited deer my first season hunting them, and I had turkeys on my site EVERY DAY. You could count on it morning and evening. I once had 13 longbeards in at one time. I couldn't tell you how many jakes, but 65 turkeys, total.

Illegal in IL!!I wouldn't use bait if it was legal unless you are talking Bears. That's a different story. Wondering the same thing BC.

Is hunting a corn field Bait?
