I don't think that's what it means. Apples, carrots, corn, etc. ARE food products, and if you are placing it in the field for the purpose of consumption by game animals, that's baiting. Like I said, the list that they give is just a bunch of "examples". It doesn't appear to be an exclusive list, so other items could be included.

Now, it seems to me that if you've just harvested corn, and had some accidental spillage, or if you regularly dump piles of cornin your cattle feeding program,then you weren't placing it there to attract game animals and it would be OK. But, you'd probably have some "splainin' to do" if the DNR showed up.

You can not put food out for the deer. You can plant crops, trees that bare fruit or nuts or vegatation, but you can not put food out on the ground for the deer.

That help??

Here in Ontario, baiting is illegal less than 7 days prior to season opener.
