Any chemical compond related to food is considered bait in mass.If you talking about something like Acorn Rage I would say yes. If they can't consume it like an extract or something along those lines I would say no.

Only problem with woodsmanship is tracking in eastern ma. You don't follow a track on huntable land too far and your in someone's backyard or just too close to houses.IMHO scents are a waste of time... What they're good for is separating a hunter from his money. People are always looking for something they can buy that will bring them some success.
The best probability of success comes from putting down good old-fashioned boot leather and working on your woodsmanship skills.
It's time to ditch the fixed position over hunted tree stand or the ground blind, start doing some still hunting and scouting.
Scout, scout hunt... Rinse and repeat.
So.....no.
lol yes I’ve had a slow season. It’s attributed to having next to no time to hunt. Looking for any edge I can get. This baiting law has always confused me, we can’t use food based scents. However, we can use doe piss and various other substances to lure them in. It makes no sense.Having a slow season are we?

White acorns are long gone now. The tannins have had time to leech out of the reds so they will be on them now if any are left.
Browse is good now. Red brush or tree tops.
The sign will tell you.
