Do you use scents to attract deer??? If so...STOP BAITING!
The differences between baiting with a highly concentrated food source, and using an attractive scent are so obvious that to try to equate the two is somewhat laughable.
Can some correlations be made...of course. However, any prudent observer can clearly see many major differences.
(as is evidenced by every state law concerning baiting in the entire country, not one state considers the use of deer scents as baiting)
Amen, I've never heard anything so ridiculous.( Do you use scents to attract deer??? If so...STOP BAITING! )
Here's another one... ( i have shot many many bucks and does with out the aid of bait. And will continue do so, im not out there dumping even a half gallon of corn just one coffe can of corn every 3-4 days, and not a big coffee can asmaller one,) Baiting is baiting wether it's 100 lbs. or a cup full.
I have also shot many bucks and does without the aid of bait, Zero bait. I think that baiting is for people that just want to shoot a deer, any deer. If baiting is legal, I don't have a problem with it. It's just not my choice, it seems to be a lazy way to hunt. Try to hunt individual deer, that's challenging.
What's this? (I will not start flingin arrows at a deer like some non baiters do ) Do only Baiters know when or when not to shoot at deer?
Where do you come from man? Are you new to this sport? With some of the things that you come up with I can't believe that you've been at it very long. Here's proof...
( I got to know the buck on a personal level, I knew his every move, wher he was comming from, what he was going to do when he got to where he was going, what time he was comming and going. In 2002 I knew he was mature enough to take since he had sported an 8 point rack 2 years in a row. He wasnt going to get any bigger. i invaded his bedding area during the rut of the 2002 bow season after numerous sightings, and when i mean numberous I mean on a day by day basis, I saw this buck every day of the 2002 bow season with out getting a clean shot.)
What kind of hunting is that? Knowing a bucks every move you shoulda had him after a week. For your information, bucks racks usually get bigger every year until they're about 6 1/2 years old.
Listen to yourself, you don't sound experienced or knowledgeable to me.
