In college I used to drink Mike's Hard and eat menthol cigerettes then I would go to the bar and drop bombs, 60% of the time it works every time! This is how I got my ladies!
The ol crop dust. I use to walk through the bar while farting all the time, then sit down and watch everyone try to figure out who it was lol.

Kinda like the trick of placing a sweet potatoe down the front of your pants. Works really well unless your too fucked up and put it in the back of your pants. Then it never works.

You guys crack me up!rotflmao I'm not at all used to the openness of this forum. It's refreshing to get away from political correctness!!

Dump apples.
Dump Corn.
Same same. Bait.

Plant tree to dump apples
Build feeder to dump corn
Same same bait.

Just because one grows in the dirt doesn't make it any less baiting.

In the words of a famous baseball player.

"Y'all don't think it it be like it is..........



But it do. "

Here's an example. I leased a place this year right before season. Didn't had time to scout it and didn't want to bust everything out of there. So I picked two spots and poured the bait to them. I'm talking probably 1000 pounds of corn and another 1000 pounds of apples. I had deer on camera constantly. Great inventory tactic right.

Wrong. These big rubs kept popping up. Like the size of my leg. Meet got the damn thing on camera. Weekend after season I went in to pull stands and decided to scout around. Ended up finding three big apple trees on different parts of the property.

That buck had no reason to come to that pile and risk it. He had standing corn next door all season and knew right where to get his fill of apples safely, just as he's done since he was a young buck.

Moral of the story. My bait got out baited. Both is bait. And a damn tree is even better bait than baiting.

The biggest part that gets me about that way of thinking is that you actually believe that shit. A fuggen tree is not bait, it's a fuggen tree!

No different than a feeder. Both distribute a food item that attracts an animal. The animal is being lured to that spot by........ You guessed it. Bait.

Now with an apple tree you might could argue that you aren't baiting but rather the tree is. Which is a silly argument if you're hunting over it. Hunting over apples that fell off a tree, or hunting over apples that fell off a tree and you moved, is no different. Both will bait an animal to a spot.

That's like trying to say that hunting over dumped corn is baiting. But hunting over corn that fell from a feeder isn't baiting. The end result is corn is on the ground attracting animals. Just as apples are on the ground attracting animals. How it got there is irrelevant.

The reason the law draws the line where they do is enforceability. You can't fine and apple tree. They define it that way not because it isn't baiting, but rather that pesky burden of proof.

I've heard your argument on this with oak flats also....it just seems refuckingtarded to me. That's all. How about we just quit hunting deer in the woods?

Nahhhhhhh. Let's just be honest when we're hunting over bait and we aren't. Why would someone hunt that oak flat? Could it be because the deer are being baited by acorns. To me the act of hunting over it makes it bait. Not how it got there.

The apple tree vs feeder would be the same , if ya built the feeder then waited 15-20 yrs to start filling it and using it , and didn't use it every yr , since apple trees don't produce good fruit crops every yr , and only used it a month or two each fall.....
But other than that they are nearly identical .

I guess I've been baiting illegally for a long time in Pa then, (where it's not legal on public land) because I hunt the white oaks whenever they're dropping. They'll go for white oak acorns before corn!

I guess the bottom line is, if they make it illegal too hunt over bait.... I can hunt oaks and apples trees still.... Legally lol
