Georgia bait debate
The Georgia DNR is conducting meetings to discuss the pros and cons of hunting deer over bait. The Georgia sitution is this the amount of huntersare decreasing ever year, and the bag limit is crazy high 10 does, 2 bucks with 1 buck being 4points on one side. The herd is growing for the last several years not to the point of being unhealthy yet, but it is not being controled to the point the state DNR is wanting. Take in the theory that 20% of the hunters kill 80% of the deer, the 20% of the hunters just don't need 12 deer . So in theory it would help the 80% kill deer and thus control the populations. The down sides I see are problems with sicknesses being spead at the feeders (like CWD) but food plots are the rage now so aren't sicknesses being spread there (potentely) There are many sides to this debate and I myself have mixed feelings.
