No person may:
• Place, use or hunt over bait or feed for hunting purposes during the closed season for hunting deer, but may start to place bait for deer hunting the day before the opening day of the deer archery season.
So I read that as its ok to bait/feed in the offseason as long as its not for hunting purposes but then they also have this
If I only hunt deer during the firearm season and do not bow hunt, when can I start baiting for deer?
Placement of bait for deer hunting can be done during any open season for deer hunting and the day before the season opens. So, the day before the archery deer season opens is the first day you may begin to place out bait for deer, and all baiting for deer must stop when all the deer seasons have closed for that area.
So im still not sure if I can bait/feed during the off season

There are counties where feeding/baiting is prohibited at any time of the year. The first question you should ask is if its legal in your county.
