Controversial Products
First products is Evolved Habits Ready to Use Deer Cane Liquid, don't have a picture of the second item yet but the other product is Wild Innovations Buck Jam (any flavor) Crushed Juice pretty much....these two items to me are controversial products as to whether or not they are considered as bait or not, so any insight would be awesome.
This is pretty much what I got from the MDC:
The Wildlife Code of Missouri states that:
Deer may not be hunted, pursued, taken, or killed with the aid of bait (grain or other feed placed or scattered so as to constitute an attraction or enticement to deer). Scents and minerals, including salt, are not regarded as bait; however, mineral blocks with food additives are prohibited. An area is considered baited for ten (10) days following complete removal of bait.
Mineral blocks that contain grain or other food additives are prohibited. 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 or other food products.
It is unclear what the natural and artificial flavors and sweeteners are so I recommend that you contact the manufacturer(s). If the products contain any food additives they are considered bait and it would be unlawful to hunt deer over these products. Some common examples of food additives that would make the product unlawful to hunt over are: apples, berries, peanuts/peanut butter, corn, honey, molasses, etc. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
So if anyone has any input I would love to hear about it.
So far out of the two products I really love the Evolved Habits Ready to Use Deer Cane, they seriously just dug at the stuff, should have taken a picture...hoping I can do so tomorrow since its nice and dark outside, got off work way too late today...and hope I'll get a picture of the Wild Innovations product, I have gotten other flavors too just haven't used it yet since I'm waiting for a response back from the company. The only one I've tried so far was the Apple flavor which was okay...not as dramatic as the Deer Cane though.
Thanks,
