Is Hay considered baiting deer
Question, buddy found a tree blind with fresh hay all around his shooting zone and trail cams showing the fresh hay. Is this considered baiting? I assume whether its an apple or fresh hay its still baiting? EDIT: As long as its not Bear your allowed, thank you to the wonderful people of this site clarifying ;)

I would think so. It's not like the hay showed up there naturally, it was physically placed there by the hunter. Call it in IMHO.
Re: Is Hay considered baiting deer
baiting deer is 100% legal
Re: Is Hay considered baiting deer
Are you talking bears or deer? Can't bait bear but nothing in the regs saying it,s not allowed for deer.

Call him in for what??
Sounds like you need to read the regs and learn them.
Re: Is Hay considered baiting deer
Thats why i asked, i assume its for deer and wasnt sure if it was allowed. Thanks for clarifying
Re: Is Hay considered baiting deer
Ive thought about doing the same, a couple bails of hay and some apples where I normally hunt would probably work wonders and there's nothing illegal about it, just don't shoot a bear if it comes around.
Re: Is Hay considered baiting deer
baiting (except for bear) is 100% legal as mentioned

Simply amazing that this conversation is still happening. No offense, but if you are aware enough to locate the baiting clause in the regs, you would also notice that it is legal to bait ungulates. This comes up more frequently than "how should the LEH system be changed for the better"
