It is the time of year that many people are thinking about deer plots, the following is a link to the MO Department of Conservation: Don’t hunt over bait Use of bait—which includes grain or other feed placed or scattered so as to attract deer or turkeys—while hunting is illegal. An area is considered baited for 10 days after complete removal of the bait. A hunter can be in violation if they take or attempt to take a deer or turkey by the aid of bait where the person knows or reasonably should know that the area is or has been baited. It is illegal to place bait in a way that causes others to be in violation of the baiting rule. Doe urine and other scents, such as apple, acorn and persimmon, may be used to attract deer while hunting, as long as the scents are not used on or with grain and other food products. Mineral blocks, including salt, are not considered bait. However, mineral blocks that contain grain or other food additives are prohibited. It is legal to hunt over a harvested crop field, but it is not legal to add grain or other crops, such as apples, to the field after it has been harvested. Manipulating crops, such as mowing or knocking them down, is not considered baiting for deer and turkeys; however, it is illegal to hunt waterfowl over manipulated crops. Additional rules apply regarding deer attractants in the CWD Containment Zone.
