Elk/Deer Baiting?

[micahash1]

Is Elk and Deer baiting legal?  If so what would you recomment for Deer?  Hoping to do this for my trail cams for pics.

Yes it is..

Apples and sweet Cob for deer..
Elk seem to really like Alfalfa...

yep 100% legal here. i use to think it was not but now know for a fact that it is legal.

What part of the state?  Trophy rock will help a bait too

It's legal but it can have a negative impact.

Up around our cabin, there's so much salt and bait up there that it doesn't work near as well as it once did. Just too many sources.

I think it's cool to use as a tool to see what's out there but I don't hunt over bait, I don't really have a problem with others doing it, just not what I'm into.

I am going to try it for the first time this season.  I use it for my trail cams, but since my honey hole has been taken over by dirtbikes, I am scrambling to find a new one before the season starts.  All that hard work for nothing

Sweet feed works real good to get them coming in quick, they can smell it for quite a ways.  I've used it for trail cams and hunted over it when I first moved to Washington.  Haven't used deer/elk bait for quite a while now, but have no problem with those that do.

any products at wholesale sports that would work great?? There is a ton to chooose from but not sure which ones will work.

Cheaper to just go to the local feed store.  But yeah, I am sure some of the products at Wholesale would work.

Seth,
Stop by and see me today.... Wet COB you can get at Skagit farmers supply... works great for deer.  30% selenium will get the elk coming into an area but you need to get it out a efw weeeks before they'll be really hitting it.  You can never go wrong with apples either with the deer!

I forgot which W/C are you in?
