What is "baiting"?
Answer: Baiting includes any of the following: 1) a solid or liquid that is transported and intended for consumption, 2) salt, 3) mineral blocks, and 4) food that is transported and placed for consumption, including, but not limited to, piles of apples and corn placed in the field. An area is considered baited for ten (10) days after the removal of the bait and the baited soil. Hunting an orchard, or another area which may be attractive to deer as a result of normal agricultural activity, is not prohibited. Farmer's salt for livestock is not bait.

The above is from the DNR website. It says salt used for livestock is not bait. Is this correct?


Thank you for clearing this up.

That is not correct and the website has been corrected. Salt is actually listed in the Indiana Administrative Code (posted below) and in the response you quoted as bait. I apologize for any confusion.

312 IAC 9-3-2 General requirements and licenses for hunting deer
