Baiting or Luring: Taking game on lands or waters upon which corn, wheat, grain, food or other substances have been deposited by means other than normal agricultural harvesting or planting is prohibited, except as noted below. In addition to normal agricultural harvesting or planting, mourning and whitewinged doves may be hunted over agricultural crops that have been harvested or manipulated and over natural vegetation that has been manipulated.
• Resident game, other than turkeys, may be hunted in proximity of year round game-feeding stations, provided that feeding stations were established at least six months prior to taking resident game.
• Turkeys may not be taken by baiting or over baited areas; or when the hunter is within 100 yards of a game-feeding station.

Well Rebel Hog that`s interesting since alot of guys on here think "baiters" just put the corn/apples out the day they want to shoot a deer. I could agree with Florida`s laws. Year around feeding. I also don`t see nothing wrong w/ feeding deer during the off season(mostly winter time).

I really think the apple sent is like baiting b/c you are using a food source(smell) to bring the deer in to shoot them. I have tried the apple sents and yes they did work.

Stretch are you trying to say that deer won't simply come to the smell of apples if you put them out when you go hunting?

I really don`t know how long it would take for the deer to come into the smell of apples.If apple smell is rare to the area I would think it would take them some time to come in, but if apples are in the area anyway they might come right in.When I had the apple scents out I had a doe come right up to the tower I was hunting in and was smelling all over it. I just sat there and watched her. I have no problem just watching deer when I`m huning so no I didn`t use the scent to shoot a deer.

Meaning, do you think the deer came to the smell to check it out, or was the deer coming to the foodplot then randomly smelled the scent and decided to investigate?
I would certainly think the latter....the knowledge of the bait siteis the reasonit came to the area, then thescent just drew it closer...

Very good point. I would have to have the apple scent out somewhere there is no plot. Maybe I`ll try next bow season just to see the results.

Well guys, i have used baiting as a late season way to get more does at time when when needed. But tonight I killed my biggest buck of the year!!. I put some corn out tuesday went back tonight, thursday. I had to coax them across a narrow field to a small woodlot. there are no trees to climb in a huge bedding area. Saw 20 deer. at least 7 bucks. I love that stand but its hard to get em into bow range.. thanks MD for allowing baiting! Nice 8 point! 3 yr old. This was my first hunt in a month!
