Me, personally, I would plant for the birds. I know that's opposite of what you asked, but the deer will benefit off of it as well. A millet of sorts with a little clover thrown in would be nice. Great for the birds and will help hold them better.
Use the lanes you have planted as small fire breaks later...if they are green from fall planting, that's just as good. Burn that area, if you can, in blocks and that will be about as good as anything you can do for ALL wildlife

So salt that has melted and gone into the clay is baiting.:rolleyes:

Here is another scenario.
A deer swallows some kernels of corn whole and they fall out in her droppings near your stand is that baiting?

I think this post is considered baiting :stir:

I`m not so sure that is possible, due to the way the digestive system of a deer works.

Don't know the reason for the :rolleyes:
I'm trying to be decent and helpful here.

Yes, dissolved salt IS baiting.

Don't believe me. Just get caught after a soil sample.

I'm just telling you and everyone else,
what the law says.

Also have provided DNR link to prove my point.

Now, you need to show me where I'm wrong.
AND I need a link. NOT your opinion.


I'll bet you a steak dinner.

Game? Show me.

Back on topic:

OP, If I were you and could make soybeans work, that's
what I would do.

In one of the above post' suggestion of millet
is an EXCELLENT idea. Sunflower is good too..

Wrong......Whole or partially dissolved Salt Blocks and Pellets are baiting, salt dissolved into the soil is not considered baiting because there is no way the state can prove when it was placed there and/or not removed within the 10 days prior to the season starting regulation and/or that the soil did not contain the levels of salt naturally. As always, baiting laws are at the discretion of the game warden and so yes, if a deer craps a piece of corn in the woods and the warden finds it he can, at his discretion, indicate that you were hunting over bait and write you a ticket.....what happens in court after that is a whole different ballgame. :biggrin2:

Millet is also good for hiding fawns from predators during the birthing months!!

I have hunted with DNR rangers in the past where there were salt holes as big as a truck bed. They hunted near them too. I don't recall either of them ticketing one another. ;)


There are situations where you can legally hunt near salt and feed too............... yep in pastures/pens where animals are being fed or given salt. You can also legally hunt over corn, beans, etc. if it is lying there as the result of an agricultural process.

So who gets the steak dinner??:bounce:

Me!

Waffle House or Morton's.

Don't matter to me.

Make it light on yourself..

BUT.. If you are rolling around in money,
I would rather hit Morton's.

About a hundred $$$ a head! :D
