This is exactly what I was thinking. (bold/italics) I was shocked that I couldn't find it defined in the digest. Even if it were legal, I wouldn't set up over a bait pile but, I have no issues with leaving food out there pretty much year round (except while season is in) so the deer have a reason to come through more often.
