Best Deer Bait

hhhmmmm....

40 acres of Alfalfa

Would the proper name version of 'you guys' be 'masterbaiters'?

don't know much about bait but I do know that scouting, hard work, and practice end up with backstraps on the grill.....conditioned animals don't tickle my fancy.

If they do for you...enjoy

Not my cup of tea, nor will I ever bow to it.  (kraut in me coming through   )

LOL

corn

A doe in heat.....

Alot of these big deer are being shot over bait! I just can't get my self to do it! I personally wish they would make it illegal and get back to an even playing field for everybody! A friend just sent me a pic of a buck that should go around 180" It was shot over a cornpile over a fence from a refuge! Just doesn't seem right! I guess it's legal, but do you really think it's a moral way to hunt? Sorry! I know I'll upset some of you! It's just how I feel

A well traveled road at night.

I have found that deer enjoy peas even more than corn.....and i will bait till its no longer legal and then I will just change the way I bow hunt

Copper has lured several right into the back of my pickup, just gotta get it going fast enough.

thats a good answer right there

sorry boys......didn't mean to rile everybody up.I personaly don't have the time to do tons of scouting due to ther obligations so I do bring some apples,corn etc out to my stand with me when I go.I appreciate A hunter that has the time to scout and put in the hard work but I just don't have the time being a weekend warrior.If that makes me less of a sportsman than I can accept that.I love the outdoors and hunting and I realize this thread would get some hunters wound up but I know there are alot of hunters like me who use bait so I will not feel bad for doing it.Its legal and I chose to do it,end of story

Not sure why you ask this question?You said you bring apples,corn,etc to your stand already.Really,baiting deer is a no-brainer.they will eat just about anything.You have to put it in the right spot and then once the deer find it.let them eat on it for a week or so.Then go sit there and shoot  your buck or doe and take your pictures!Years ago the best bait-was Jailbait

Also got a Sw wind this morning,heading out to see if i can ambush a deer heading back to his bedding ground.Why is it so much easier to get up to go huntng then to go to work??

Quit teasing Murdock .      

I tried deer sausage - - didn't work.

Heres what you do. Take a salt lick block and melt it down in a large stock pot. Take apples and acorns and put them in a large buckett. Pour the salt in the buckett cover with molasyses and comer dear. Its like a hot fudge sunday to a fat kid. They can't resist.

Take a 5 gallon bucket, fill it 3/4 with corn and then dump in a can of frozen apple juice concentrate, mix it up well and tada, deer mana from heaven!
