    Does there have to be a stump? Or can you clear a section of dirt and just pour some stuff down that deer will dig for?

    No stump needed! Some use the stump to sit their blocks on to keep them from breaking down faster.

    For you guys that do the liquid on the stump thing, do you live in a state that allows baiting? If not, how do you determine when the liquid is "gone"? I guess the same could be said for the ground thing.
