A mixture of apples and rocky mountain sweet feed, you can get it at Big R. Once you have them coming in you can supplement with alfalfa.

Hey there, HoytStaff guy... Come on now... have you ever actually heard anyone say that a tree stand or blind isn't hunting? I never have. This is a bait issue here.

backyard bucks. I have a letter from fish and game stating that baiting for big game animals like deer and elk are legal in this state. Bears a no no. So if you wish to bait for deer and elk go ahead and have fun. Set up a trail can and see what you can find. When I get to work I can give you their exact words

FC2038 is right, it is legal....except bears.
IMO-- legal doesn't mean it's ethical.

what is unethical about baiting deer or elk? sitting on the egde of a field in a stand or blind is the same, just using natural bait......

If you dont like it don't do it, simple as that... I agree if you dont like baiting you probable shouldn't hunt in a tree stand over a food plot. That is baiting at an extreme level in my opinion, and thats all it is, an opinion. Good luck.
PS: this time of year around my area hay stacks are a great location to hunt, farmers like it to because the deer mess them up pretty bad.
