Pea's for bait?
 

A friend of mine went on a hunt in Canada, he said that the outfitter baited the deer with hay and frozen pea's. Anybody heard of such a thing? What kind of pea's are they? Where can i get some in bulk?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

here in al we plantpeas for food plots, and the deer will mow them down,usually plant butter bean, green bean,just like yourregular back yard garden. haven't tried the hay.

I know in Saskatchawan they use Alphalfa mixed with peas and it seems to work well.

I have augered a hole on the ice of a pond and placed a few pees around the hole.I would then hide close by and when the deer would come up and take a pee I would kick him in the icehole

Pea fields are game magnets up here. Outfitters wouldgo withthe chick pea variety.Peas are a bit spendy though...most tend to go with barley on top of the alfalfa hay in sask. Cheaper but very effective as well.

Try a feed mill or process plants???

the public land i hunt rotates a field with peas. the deer love it. plants are cut to about 1 1/2 feet by october, deer love to bed in it. got my first deer with a recurve bow the year of the pea crop. in a thicket about 100-150 yards off of the crop. i'd love to plant a 1/4 acre right up against the edge and see what happens:)
