Hunting a 10, 20 or 100 acre field is not the same as a pile of apples or corn. If you can justify it
in your mind, so be it. It's just not hunting to me.

Just because I think it is a good way to hunt doesn't mean its the only way to hunt. I haven't acutally shot a deer on bait since '99

not getting my panties in a bunch.
i think it is funny how someone will tell another what is hunting and what isn't.
each to their own if it is legal so be it.
i personally love to sit in a treestand above old apple trees any chance i can get.

I agree with one of the last posts, you need to remember we are all hunters. Just because you may not agree with something doesn't mean you have to bust some body for it. I like trapping, you don't have to, because we didn't band together on that issue we pretty much lost it. We don't want to loose hunting do we? You can't start banning certain areas, if you do it wont stop, they will keep going, starting with bow hunting, then high power rifles. Stick together.

Hunting to me means getting in the wood and still hunting, moving slow, sitting for hours, having stare down contests with
deer 10 feet from you while you are stuck in the middle of a step for a half an hour. Giving the deer every advantage, and
still filling your tag is what hunting is to me. Would I sit by an old apple tree in the woods, you bet, would I sit on the edge of
a alfalfa field, absolutely. But, to make an artificial bait and sit over it diminishes the trophy to me.
This is simply how I feel, bait if you want to, it is your right to do so.

OK
with all that said and done back to the original post.
this year i have come across several spots. (east and west) where i have found someones piles of corn, apples, or blocks. and even hanging feeders with peanut butter all over the place.
not sure what is the best for baiting them since i haven't done it but all those looked interesting enough to me.
each time i would walk in front of the cameras and smile and wave.

One thing that worked really well for me this year in the scouting season for one of my cameras was a
50 pound sack of trace granual salt
spread over about a 4ft area. It sokes into the ground and the animals love it. I got 167 pics in 5 days of everything form nice bucks to coyotes to a little black bear.
