Is a mineral block or salt block considered bait?

[SouthGaBoneCollector]

i was considering putting a mineral block within shooting range of my stand. Is this a violation of the baiting law??

 

[aztecrider]

It would be considered baiting.

 

[Bill Brown]

If it is visable, some of the liquids do not leave a residue. Wait until after the season and dig a hole to mix it with some of the dirt.

 

[timgarside]

Yes it is.

 

[hunter23]

is it legal to use turkey decoy in ga? or they consider that bait?

 

[snookdoctor]

It is legal.
Actually, deer realize that turkey are very aware of their surroundings, and are good at perceiving danger.
Often when deer see turkey, they tend to let their guard down a bit and feed without their usual paranoia.

 

[hunter23]

so no problem with turkey decoys

 

[hunter23]

i was talking about turkey hunt....

 

[snookdoctor]

No. You can't ask about using turkey decoys for turkey hunting on the deer hunting forum. You have to go to the turkey hunting forum. That is where turkey hunting/ baiting/decoy issues are discussed.

 

[dertiedawg]

Yes, turkey decoys are legal for turkey huntiing.

Can you use Deer Decoys for turkey hunting?? just kidding. Not sure how a mineral block question turned into a decoy question.

 

[RWK]

I think it depends on the time of the year, during deer season a NO- No

 

[dm/wolfskin]

If the block is melted into the soil I think it's ok to hunt near it. Call your local DNR officer to see. Mike

 

[elfiii]

Yes, it is baiting.

If you want to use a mineral lick, do a search on this forum for "salt lick" or "mineral lick" to find out how to do it legally.

If you use a female decoy you will catch me every time

Everything is baiting it seems, but look at all the products on the market luring people in.

Nah. Just seeing if he would believe it.
There's no turkey hunting forum around here.

In SC, salt block and mineral licks are legal, corn is not in the upsate but down state you can run dogs and use corn. Go figure, same state, 2 different sets of game laws. Check out the SC DNR rules and regulations website.
