Very rarely will a mature buck meet his demise over a pile of bait, especially if he has been pressured at all. I would put in some more time and try to cut him off coming back to bed in the a.m. Don't just assume that because baiting is illegal it must be effective. It is extremely overrated and usually conducted by less educated hunters.

Thanks for the reply there good sir. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. To each his own. I was offering my opinion. I have seen mature deer killed over piles of corn plenty of times. I'm glad you can pull it off, however I was simply trying to shed some light to our fellow hunters who happen to live in areas where baiting is illegal. Also glad to hear you know people who have been hunting for twice as long as i am old. Don't really know what that has to do with anything.

I will try to offend.
Baiting is cheating.
It is Unethical and should be Illegal, nation wide.
It leads to the spread of disease among not just deer but all wild animals that come in contact with the unnatural food source. The sole reason that it is continued is to provide a secondary source of income for suppliers.

Hey guys. I need some legal ways to bait deer. I BOW hunt in southern WI where it's illegal to bait deer, but I hunt a farm with corn and bean fields that are 100 x 300 yards. The deer just never seem to follow and set trails seeing as the fields are rotated so its always a crap shoot when choosing the stand to hunt out of. What are some LEGAL tips or tricks you guys use to attract deer when "bait" is illegal? A food plot is out of the question but any other ideas would be great.
"In areas where deer baiting is not allowed, what CAN I USE to attract deer
closer to my stand if I cant use bait?
Use of the following are legal statewide:
Decoys
Scents
Naturally occurring material (such as acorns), deposited by natural vegetation, that
is not collected and relocated in any manner.
Crops planted and left standing as wildlife food plots.
Material deposited solely as a result of normal agricultural or gardening practices
and not collected and relocated for hunting or other purposes.
What exactly is considered bait?
Bait is any material that is placed or used to attract wild animals, including scent
materials, salt, minerals, grains, etc. Water is not considered bait.
Can I still place out salt or mineral blocks or similar material?
In counties where baiting and feeding of deer is prohibited, no. These materials are considered bait and are not legal. "

Now take those same 15 deer and put them in a 10 acre field of corn, it is not likely that they will feed from the same plant because of the sheer size of the feed lot. Research has shown that feeding promotes disease - Chronic Wasting Disease is one of them.
