You cant be serious.
Baiting is a selfish act that only benefits the unethical person doing it. Going to the effort of providing the entire deer herd with beneficial nutrition all year long is quite different. That is why it is legal to hunt next to a corn field but not over a pile of corn.
In all fairness , you can't be serious neither?
Are you trying to imply that the sole reason for landowners planting food plots is to supply the deer with nutrition all year long???
You mean it has absolutely nothing to do with landowners trying to draw deer to their property?
Pretty hypocritical to label one a "selfish act" and not the other!
What about the baiters who feed all year long? It's quite common in northern Wisconsin. They feed all year long in hopes of a lower winter kill , which benefits anyone hunting the national forests.
I don't bait myself , but I am soooo sick and tired of seeing thefood plotters thumb their noses at the corn pilers! I know alot of "corn pilers" hunting public land. I also know alot of landowners hunting their food plots. They
ALL have the same goal , to attract deer to their neck of the woods. One has the property and the resources to plant a food plot to attract deer. The other doesn't. They both sound like their using resources available to them to attract deer. Are they both selfish? Maybe , but neither should be looking down their noses at the other!
