Hi All

I have a question.

In southern Ontario, are we allow to bait deers while hunting?

I read info about putting corns for deers and feeders.

But I am not sure whether we can do that. So can sombody give me some helps.

Thanks

xhunter- yes in Onario you can bait/feed deer for hunting purposes. Some question the ethics of this type of hunting, but it is totally legal.

If you are thinking about baiting, might i suggest using corn, and than pour molasses on the pile. It works great! both these items you can get at the feed store. I just picked up a 5 gallon pail of molassess for 10.00.
Im pretty happy about finding out about the availability of molassess, since I have been buying "deer feed" at TSC. Dont get me wrong, Deer feed works awesome too, but now I can control how much molassess is mixed. I also pour it on a nearby stumpp. GOOD EATS!! happy hunting.

in the past we have put out corn, apples, pumpkins with good results ...usually just dump it on the ground

TSC also sells deer salt licks, I have one off my feed piles, with all the snow feed piles on the ground get buried, I have coffee cans with hole in the top and string in bottom, hanging from a limbs they have to learn to bump the can and more drops outs. I set my trail cam out yesterday so see if I can get you a picture or 2 of them.

When did they change the baiting rules?

I dug this up from the MNR site but there's no mention in the regs anymore. Scroll down 2 thirds of the way down or search for "Question Re: Use of Bait to Hunt"

As it states, it is legal to use bait. Just not for turkeys or waterfowl.
