If your neighbor baits - it does not mean you need to.If your neighbor has food plots,corn,soy beans,peas,sun flowers etc...why would he need to bait if you do
Baiting does not mean dozens of deer will come running to your corn. Fact is if your not smart with baiting along with some hunting pressure will force deer to feed nocturnal.
Baiting if done properly can draw deer in and thru a property. It doesn't mean everybody who "baits" is plopping piles of corn a few feet from stand and blasting away at bambi..
We draw deer from a very large WMA,Conservancy,and 600 acre farm. We do this with very little corn and few apples for scent - and its Legal.
Whats the big friggin deal?
If it ain't legal then your a slob hunter.
Seems some like to assume after reading some limited one sided material that baiting is Voo-Doo hunting.
For those that don't Pass Judgement on this subject- THANKS
