Default the truth on sardines?

Hello All,

I bow hunt in northern WI, and have heard of hunters putting an open can of sardines w/in bow range.

I read the three posts that were in this forum - and none really said either way if anyone has had success with this.

Does anyone have any opinion on this? Good or Bad?

Thanks in advance,
roml

I've never heard of that , but it would probably be considered baiting (illegal) here .

Some human vegetarians eat fish , but I doubt that deer will . Maybe it serves as a curiosity lure ?

Welcome Rolm! I've never heard of such a practice. I can see how it might work as a curiosity scent. It should also work for bears as that's how a lot of people start their bear baits here in Maine.
