Depends what you are hunting for.  For predators, yes they are legal.

Got it.

Decoys: Decoys simulating food are considered artificial bait and are illegal.
Examples: artificial corn to attract turkeys or waterfowl. Any decoy,
including electronic decoys, used in the trapping or hunting of furbearers
is permitted.
