Anything used to lure or entice..... That's a might broad brush to paint with. According to that definition an oak tree is bait
If you planted or fertilized it to increase acorn yield and attract deer, then sure it is. Same with apple trees that you planted or manipulated in some way to increase the yield and attract deer.
By some definitions here corn isn't bait if it's planted and bush hogged instead of trucked in or slung from a feeder. That's the biggest bunch of crap I ever heard.
I'm saying it's all bait, whether it's corn, mineral licks, food plots, etc. If you are hunting over something not 100% natural, then it's food used as an enticement, and it's bait.
