Remember that WDFW changes the baiting rules for deer and elk this year.

I contacted the WDFW and they said IS legal to bait/supplemental feed deer. but the bait piles can't exceed 10 gallons, but if they do, they need to be at least 200 yards apart. I think it's because they don't want coyotes taking advantage of the deer being in such close proximity.

Crap!  So this is what hell is like....?   A dead thread, unmercifully killed by it's creator, and misinformation hanging out like souring bait for unsuspecting travelers wandering in the dark........

WDFW does not care a bit about coyotes nor the plight of deer preyed upon by these wretched animals.  All part of Gods plan and completely unfunded by license sales.  This rule is only a poor attempt to make both sides of the baiting issue "happy". 

Put out eleven pounds of bait and be stricken dead says I!  Put them 190 yards apart and be damned to Hell!! 

WDFW cares very little about Blacktail deer beyond the revenue they generate.  If there are some deer to kill, life is very good.  If numbers are down, then the price of hunting tags must rise to protect them.  If the numbers of hunters decline, then the prices of hunting tags must also rise, (but we're still working on a good reason why).

(just to be clear, I'm not in favor of baiting, at least not by that spelling, but to each, his own).

In all seriousness, I have invested plenty in wet cob, but I won't do that anymore. 

10 gallons at a time, right?   

[fishnfur]

Yup!  Ten, and not an ounce more. 

Fatten 'em up PD.   

[HunterofWA]

Ok ok... I'm not that into baiting either... but when there is only 2 weeks for modern firearm season I can get the idea that deer hunters feel panicked and would really like to not eat tag soup!

I haven't found anything that blacktails will eat on a regular bases.

Has anyone had success with Purina antler max pellets? Do you know what flavor the Antlermax watershield deer 16 pellets are?

It's a special blend Purina won't share.
From their website, "Strong proprietary flavor to attract deer and elk"
If you want to supplement their diet for antler growth, you're too late. Most of the antler growth has taken place for the year.
When it comes to Blacktails and bait/supplements/attractants, they'll hit them consistently in spring and early summer. Then they will gradually lose interest. I get several hundred pics a month in spring, then it gradually slows down. During October I may only get a few dozen pics.
Blacktails are like goats...they can eat anything. And their environment is usually filled with food.

Most of the successful bait & camera posts I've seen over the last six years typically included apples, lettuces and other salad greens, and a mix of other produce.  If I was serious about it, I would either talk to the produce manager at a big grocery store about purchasing they produce they throw out once expired (at a greatly reduced rate) or attempt to dumpster dive for the discarded veggies and fruit. 

Neighbors with apple trees that don't collect the fruit are another great free source. One of my big apple trees is just now getting serious about dropping fruit.  We have at least 50 apples on the ground already.  Craigslist often has numerous listings for free fruit to those that come to pick it.  Think outside the box and you'll likely come up with enough bait to keep the animals coming in to your cam.
