Is This Considered Bait?

[goosepondmonster]

I am thinking yes, but thought I'd check. I saw these products at Wal Mart and was curious if they would be viewed as bait or not.

First is the Primos End of the Line cover scent/attractant...

The second is the Acorn Rage Bomb from Wildgame Innovations and the makers of the Buck Bomb...

Also, I just wanted to mention this. Knowing that baiting is not legal in Indiana I find it funny that Wal Mart, Tractor Supply, Rural King, etc. always have shelves full of different types of bait this time of year.

I personally have not seen either one of these products but based on the descriptions provided by the manufacturer, here is my interpretation.

The "end of the line" would be considered bait due to the fact it is a corn powder that is sprayed onto the ground that could be consumed. acording to the advertisement "Simply dust the ground heading into your stand to cover your tracks"

the "acorn bomb" would not be considered bait because it is an aerosol spray that would be like an air freshner. There would be nothing to consume. According to the advertisement "With a 3 mph breeze this product can drift in excess of 1/4 mile, and it sticks to everything it comes in contact with leaving a natural scent trail right back to the can".

I use the word consume because that is what the state statute is based on.

(v) An individual must not hunt deer with the use or aid of:
(1) bait, which includes:
(A) a food that is transported and placed for consumption, including, but not limited to, piles of corn and apples placed
in the field;
(B) a prepared solid or liquid that is manufactured and intended for consumption by livestock or wild deer, including,
but not limited to, commercial baits and food supplements;
(C) salt; or
(D) mineral supplements;
